Two Scots nurseries have been closed as E. Coli outbreaks have left a number of children in hospital, which may leave some wondering about possible warning signs.
An outbreak took place in Church Road Pear Tree Nursery, with Meadowpark Pear Tree also closed on a precautionary basis as people connected with it reported symptoms. Both nurseries are in Haddington, East Lothian and so far cases have been confined to the nursery, households of the children and close contacts.
28 cases have been identified with most being mild, although some are in hospital in a stable condition. This may leave some Scots wondering about possible E. coli symptoms as well as what to do for those who think they may have the infection.
