(CNN) — Some Winter Olympics athletes are falling ill with norovirus, and Team USA says it’s staying “dialed in” to curb the spread of the common stomach bug.

The US Olympic and Paralympic Committee is continuing measures to protect athletes from infections like norovirus, says Carrie Aprik, winter sports dietitian for the committee.

“These cases are a good reminder for us to stay dialed in our hygiene strategies — most importantly, frequent handwashing,” Aprik said in an email Tuesday. “We also encourage our whole delegation to stay in close contact with the medical staff as soon as any symptoms arise.”

Cases of norovirus were identified among Team Finland, the International Olympic Committee said last week, postponing a women’s ice hockey game with Canada. The game will now be played Thursday.

The decision to postpone the game was made “collectively and in accordance with established health and safety principles,” the IOC said.

The virus has also been identified in one member of Team Switzerland. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines a norovirus outbreak as “two or more similar illnesses resulting from a common exposure,” but IOC officials have declined to call these cases an outbreak.

Norovirus is the leading infectious cause of vomiting and diarrhea in the world. It spreads easily among people, especially on cruise ships and in other places where people live in close proximity.

It’s also been identified at previous Winter Olympics. At the 2018 Games in South Korea, for instance, officials scrambled to contain the same virus.

“Illness mitigation is always top of mind,” Aprik wrote, adding that measures to reduce spread include disinfecting surfaces, frequent handwashing, avoiding sharing personal items like water bottles and following food safety practices.

The virus has the potential to cause large outbreaks, said Dr. Dan Barouch, director of the Center for Virology and Vaccine Research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, who is not involved in the Winter Olympic Games.

“The concern for the Olympics is that we hope to prevent a large number of people coming down with norovirus to avoid a disruption in competition. Ways to do that would be to isolate people who do have the disease and to quarantine people who’ve been exposed, and also to ensure there is good hand hygiene,” Barouch said.

The “main risk,” he added, is that this virus is highly contagious and there tend to be more cases during this time of year.

“Whether that’s because people spend more time indoors or in closed settings, we’re not sure, but cases do go up in the wintertime,” Barouch said.

When someone is exposed to norovirus, they usually develop symptoms quickly, within 12 to 48 hours, and the most common symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and stomach pain.

“The good news is that most people recover from it very quickly, too,” Barouch said.

(CNN) — The Justice Department on Monday un-redacted more names in the Jeffrey Epstein files after pressure from lawmakers who reviewed unredacted versions of several records.

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, in an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, said the Justice Department had previously redacted the identities of several people named in a 2019 FBI document.

The newly unredacted names include billionaire business magnate Les Wexner; Epstein’s longtime assistant Lesley Groff; and former French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel; each of whom are listed in the document as co-conspirators of Epstein’s.

CNN has reached out to Wexner’s foundation for comment.

Wexner is the former CEO of Victoria’s Secret parent company L Brands and previously employed Epstein as a money manager. He has said he severed ties with Epstein in 2007.

“The Assistant U.S. Attorney in charge of the Epstein investigation stated at the time that Mr. Wexner was neither a co-conspirator nor target in any respect,” a legal representative for Wexner said in a statement given to media outlets in December when Wexner’s name appeared in Epstein documents released by the DOJ. “Mr. Wexner cooperated fully by providing background information on Epstein and was never contacted again.”

An attorney for Groff, Michael Bachner, said in a statement to CNN that Groff had “never seen this document and was unaware of it.”

“In fact, neither Lesley nor her counsel were ever notified that she was considered a co-conspirator. On the contrary, after Lesley voluntarily spoke with prosecutors, and answered each and every question asked of her, she was told that she was not being prosecuted,” he wrote.

Brunel, meanwhile, was arrested on charges including raping a minor and was found dead in his prison cell in 2022. A medical examiner ruled his death was suicide by hanging. He had denied any wrongdoing, and his lawyers said at the time that his death was not due to guilt but rather a “sense of injustice.”

In a 2019 note to L Brands employees, Wexner disavowed Epstein and denied knowledge of any illegal activity.

In an online exchange with Massie on Monday night, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said that while the Justice Department had “unredacted Les Wexner’s name from this document,” he was already mentioned in the Epstein documents “thousands of times.”

“DOJ is hiding nothing,” Blanche wrote.

Other names revealed amid pressure on DOJ

The Justice Department on Monday revealed another name after pressure from Massie and the other lawmakers who reviewed some of the unredacted material earlier in the day.

In 2009, Epstein wrote a brief email to a redacted recipient, “where are you? are you ok I loved the torture video.”

Bueno, no estoy seguro de si es la primera vez que se celebra en los Juegos Olímpicos, pero sin duda ha dado que hablar.

El biatleta noruego Sturla Holm Laegreid, tras conseguir el bronce en la prueba individual masculina de 20 km, admitió en la televisión noruega que le había sido infiel a su novia.

Tras hacer pública la noticia, esto es lo que declaró a los periodistas durante una conferencia de prensa:

“No sé si fue la decisión correcta, pero fue la que tomé”, declaró Laegreid. “Tomamos decisiones diferentes a lo largo de la vida, y así es como se construye la vida, básicamente. Así que hoy decidí contarle al mundo lo que hice”.

“Así que, tal vez, tal vez exista la posibilidad de que ella vea lo que realmente significa para mí. O tal vez no, pero no quiero pensar que no lo intenté todo para recuperarla. Así que, sí, de nuevo, no quiero robarme el protagonismo hoy.

Más tarde añadió: “No he tenido ninguna reacción de la chica que mencioné. Me alegro porque entonces tal vez no lo haya visto; tal vez lo vea en el momento adecuado. Espero no empeorarle las cosas, pero tal vez pueda ayudar. No lo sé. Espero que haya un final feliz al final. Así que ya veremos qué pasa con el tiempo”.

El compatriota de Laegrid, Johan-Olav Botn, se llevó la medalla de oro con un tiempo de 51:31.5, seguido por el francés Eric Perrot, a 14,8 segundos, quien se llevó la medalla de plata.

Abrumado por la situación y su medalla de oro, Botn lanzó un grito de alegría al cruzar la línea de meta.

“Para ser sincero, no sé exactamente cómo me siento porque no he tenido tiempo para pensar”, declaró a los periodistas tras su victoria. “Es especial. Estaba intentando recordar todo lo que ha pasado, intentando plasmarlo todo, y espero poder vivir una larga vida con todos los recuerdos que he creado hoy”.

“Creo que escuchar el himno nacional con el oro alrededor del cuello es algo que siempre recordarás”.
