In a late night statement, CMOH Dr. Mark Joffe announced five additional daycare sites in Calgary are closed due to positive E. Coli tests.
said children from five additional daycare sites have tested positive for the gastro-intestinal disease, with some being linked to the daycares from the original outbreak.
The affected daycares are required to close and thoroughly sanitize and clean the space, and all children will be tested before returning to the centres, the release reads.MTC DaycareThe case connected to the sixth daycare on the list, Calgary JCC Child Care, is a child who does not attend the site and is therefore an indirect contact, Joffe said.“E.Coli is a highly transmissible bacteria that can be spread by food or water sources, or by hand-to-mouth contact.
At the time of the press conference, AHS had not yet confirmed the link to Calgary JCC Child Care, however, the site had been closed. Vik Academy, which was part of the original 11 closures, has also been closed again for precautionary reasons as AHS awaits test results, Joffe said late Friday.
