Calgary E. coli outbreak: Catering company faces licensing charges in connection to incident

Alberta chief medical officer of health Dr. Mark Joffe said on Wednesday that there are currently 351 lab-confirmed cases of E. coli connected to the Calgary daycare outbreak from earlier this month.

He added four children remain in hospital, and case numbers are beginning to plateau. Most of the children have been cleared to return to the daycare, he said.

Also, the City of Calgary announced on Wednesday through X, formerly known as Twitter, that it's charging the catering company responsible for the E. coli outbreak connected to a daycare earlier in September with bylaw infractions, but that no criminal charges have been laid at this time.

Premier Danielle Smith responded to this during the press conference by saying the Calgary Police Service has to make their own decision whether to press charges.
