Since not  most  patients  will probably  have sought medical attention,  the actual   variety   involving   an individual   who   are generally  sick  is actually  likely much  down   than   ones   established  figures.  In the same way   of   this  writing, that’s three illnesses  in  Oregon  AS WELL AS  19  within  Washington.

E. coli illness  is  miserable  AND ALSO  inconvenient  regarding   most  people, featuring abdominal cramps  IN ADDITION TO  watery diarrhea. However,  anyone   exactly who   usually are  sick  In the event that   end up being  monitored  with regard to  signs  associated with  dehydration,  AND  young children  IN ADDITION TO  elderly  people   tend to be  susceptible  to  kidney failure.

The safety and wellbeing of our customers is always our highest priority. After being notified by health department officials in the Seattle and Portland areas that they were investigating approximately 20 cases of E. coli, including people who ate at six of our restaurants in those areas, we immediately closed all of our restaurants in the area out of an abundance of caution, even though the vast majority of these restaurants have no reported problems. We are working with health department officials to determine the cause of this issue. We offer our deepest sympathies to those who have been affected by this situation.
