Stomach flu outbreak at a rcfe. visit ban in place for a week now. what is the implication? how could a ban last for several weeks?

Perhaps: they don't want visitors to become ill due to acquiring "the stomach flu?" A stomach flu virus can last as long as two weeks in someone with an intact immune system, and longer in someone who is immunocompromised due to medications or illness.
