The Alberta government appears to have extended a one-time payment of $2,000 for each child affected by an E. coli outbreak in Calgary to 19 daycares.
Program was initially expected to cost more than $2.5 million for nearly 1,300 childrenWhen the province last provided an update on Thursday, there were six children still receiving care at the Alberta Children's Hospital as a result of an E. coli outbreak that ultimately affected 19 daycares.Alberta Children and Family Services posted a link to an online application form on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, on Monday.
The form links to a list of daycares, which includes the original 11 daycares affected by the outbreak as well as eight others that have since had partial or full closures due to secondary transmission. Turton's post says the details would be revealed in the coming days, and Alberta Children and Family Services declined to comment, so it wasn't immediately clear how much more the program would cost or how many people would receive payments.Alberta CMOH says E. coli numbers starting to 'trend in the right direction'
Investigators are still looking for the source, but have previously said it almost certainly came from a central kitchen used by the daycares.
