Super Smash Bros. Tournament Causes Illness Outbreak.
Several attendees of the Collision 2023 Super Smash Bros. tournament in New Jersey fell ill with a stomach bug, possibly caused by norovirus. While most attributed the illness to the chicken sandwich sold at the event, others suggested it may have been due to the highly contagious virus. The tournament had health and safety guidelines in place, including proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 test results and mandatory mask-wearing, but it seems the measures were not enough to prevent the spread of the virus. The illness is temporary and lasts one to three days.
