The Ingham County Health Department is now reporting close to 300 people were affected by the illness outbreak at the Kellogg Center last week.
Linda Vail with the Ingham County Health Department told 6 News they also have multiple people reporting of secondary cases of the illness, from family members who have been around people originally affected at MSU’s hotel and conference center.
“That eliminates some of what you would refer to as causative agents, there are some that are known to have secondary transmissions, others, not so much,” Vail said.
Although that information does help to narrow down the cause of the outbreak, Ingham County Health Department is waiting on lab results to get concrete answers, and even then it is hard to find one causation of such a broad outbreak.
