This reference document is intended to provide information and guidance to facilities that are experiencing an increased number of gastrointestinal (GI) infections where the infectious agent may or may not have been identified. Certain precautions taken by staff at a facility experiencing an increase in GI infections may help to prevent the further spread of infections and decrease the amount of time the facility must keep precautions in place.
