E. Coli Outbreak Appears Contained In Slayton

SLAYTON, Minn. (AP) ― An E. coli outbreak at a preschool in Slayton appears to have been contained.

Director Diane Scarset says more than 20 children at Wonder World Preschool showed symptoms of the infection.

The first of 12 confirmed cases was confirmed in mid-May while the last was confirmed June 6, so Scarset says she thinks the school is "on the mend."

Scarset says the Minnesota Health Department hasn't found the cause of the outbreak.

Symptoms of E. coli include severe stomach cramps and bloody diarrhea.
