Chaffee County Public Health Department personnel are working with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to investigate a new cluster of E. coli illnesses in Salida, Colorado.

Two children were recently diagnosed with Escherichia coli and at least three others have reported symptoms that could indicate the illness. One child was hospitalized and has recovered.  Three others have reported E. coli symptoms and testing is in progress for those youths.  A source for the infection has not yet been determined.
