In an attempt to stop the spreading of a virus, the Harrah's Casino in Cherokee is implementing preventative cleaning measures. Reports John Ostendorff of the Asheville Citizen Times:

Casino spokesman Charles Pringle said Thursday that a state lab test showed the illness is the highly contagious norovirus.
