E. Coli Outbreak at Alberta Daycare Declared Over

Alberta Health Services confirms no new cases since Sept. 7, allowing daycare to reopen on Sept. 10.

The E. coli outbreak at Aspen Lakes Discovery Center in Blackfalds, Alberta, has officially ended.
Sixteen cases were confirmed, with the source likely being person-to-person transmission.
The daycare was closed in late August after several children and staff fell ill.
An investigation found no link to contaminated food, unlike a previous outbreak in Calgary.
Alberta Health Services advises continued vigilance for E. coli symptoms among staff and children.
