Second childcare setting identified in E.coli probe

A second childcare setting has been identified in an investigation into an E.coli case in Wales. Public Health Wales confirmed that it was investigating two cases of E.coli in children who attend the nursery at Ysgol Pen Barras in Ruthin on Saturday.

However, PHW has since re-classified one of these cases as "probable", rather than confirmed. One child who attends the school has got a confirmed diagnosis of E.coli.

While there is currently no evidence to suggest the case has been transmitted or acquired from the school, children in the nursery and reception classes at the school were asked not to attend on Monday and Tuesday and were also asked to provide stool samples.
