There are now 348 lab-confirmed cases of E. coli in the city following an outbreak at Calgary daycares, Alberta Health Services said in an update Monday.
That figure includes 27 lab-confirmed secondary cases, which is an increase of four since Saturday, said the emailed statement from the provincial health body.
The outbreak has sent children to hospital and some are on dialysis after developing hemolytic uremic syndrome, a disease which affects the kidneys.
AHS said MTC Daycare site is not closed, but affected children and staff in the Prominade and McKenzie classrooms are being notified that they are excluded from attending all childcare facilities until they test negative for E. coli and remain symptom free.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said during a media availability at the World Petroleum Congress Monday that the province will soon be at a point where they’ll be able to shift into a review of what happened.
She added that the one-time payment she announced last week was designed to be for the first 11 daycares connected to the outbreak, not those with secondary spread.
