HARTFORD – The city’s Health Department has allowed the Marriott Hotel ballroom to reopen after ordering it closed last week.
The Marriott was told to close its ballroom and surrounding areas Friday after several people got sick during recent events.
The City of Hartford’s Health and Human Services Department said they were sickened with an illness exhibiting Norovirus-like symptoms, including vomiting, after attending the Connecticut Music Educators Association (CMEA) All-State Conference and other events at the hotel.
Dr. Rhule, Director of the City of Hartford’s Health and Human Services Department said in a statement, “On Monday, April 10, 2017, the City of Hartford advised the Marriott Hotel Downtown that it may re-open its ballroom and resume normal operations.
