Alberta government ministers and the chief medical officer of health give an update on the E. coli outbreak in Calgary.
Alberta cabinet ministers and the chief medical officer of health are set to give an update on the E. coli outbreak in Calgary this afternoon.
This comes after an outbreak of the shiga toxin-producing E. coli, which can cause serious issues. The outbreak, which has been linked to Calgary daycares using a shared kitchen, has sent children to hospital, with some on dialysis after developing hemolytic uremic syndrome, a disease which affects the kidneys.
Several other daycares have been closed or partially closed due to what is believed to be secondary spread.
