Colorado E. coli Outbreak at Little Sailors Daycare
Little Sailors Child Development in Northglenn, Colorado is the center of an E. coli outbreak in which 14 people are sick, local news sources report.
Children exhibiting E. coli symptoms are being kept apart from others. “The reason we’re not sending them home is because we don’t want the parents to take them to a different child-care setting and spread the disease around,” the day care owner says.
Thirteen children and one adult are sick in this outbreak so far. “It appears less severe,” said Richard Vogt, M.D., with the Tri-County Health Department. “We have to see how this plays out.” The source of the outbreak has not yet been determined.
