    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    SITKA, Alaska -- State health officials are investigating an outbreak of norovirus in oysters after four people tested positive in Sitka.

    Officials say 21 others have been sickened.

    Whiting Harbor Aquafarms of Sitka voluntarily stopped selling oysters until the state approves sales.

    The health department advises anyone with Sitka oysters purchased between Jan. 26 and Feb. 1 to discard them.
