A daycare in Dartmouth, N.S., believes it has stopped an outbreak of the E. coli bacteria.
Seven children at Crystal Daycare and two of their siblings have been infected by the bacteria since the middle of August, but the outbreak did not originate at the daycare.
Dr. Gaynor Watson-Creed, the medical health officer for the capital region, said there hasn't been a new case since last week.
"That's typically how outbreaks will go. It's not like there's a big source at the daycare that we can come in and clamp down on it, clean up and be done," she said Friday.
