By Pritzker | Ruohonen

Investigators are looking into two confirmed cases of E. coli in the Four Corners District of Nebraska.  According to the York News-Times, the cases were confirmed by Nebraska Public Health Laboratory, but there is no information regarding specific locations, except that they occurred in the Four Corners District. No source has yet been identified.

Vicki Duey, executive director of the Four Corners Health Department, stated, “We’re investigating to look for a potential common source.  We have no conclusive information at this time. That’s where we are in the investigation right now. But the situation does not present a significant public health threat.  We do not see this as an ongoing threat at this time.”

No connection between the two cases has yet been identified, and there is no information whether or not there are any other cases under investigation.
