Six Fueling Brains daycare sites, all in Calgary, have been issued a closure order until issues are resolved
Braineer Academy, Kidz Space, Little Oak Early Education, Almond Branch School and Vik Academy in Okotoks, Alta., have also been issued closure orders.
Families with children attending any of the locations are being sent letters advising of the outbreak and are being asked to monitor for symptoms and present to an emergency department if necessary. Diarrhea, which may be bloody, is the predominant symptom associated with E. coli. Symptoms usually start one to 10 days after eating food contaminated with the E. coli bacteria.
AHS says majority of people who get sick from E. coli generally improve on their own and without specific treatment within 10 days, but a proportion may develop more severe complications.The health agency says children, the elderly and the immunocompromised are at greater risk of complications from this strain of E. coli.
