Public health officials in Wales are investigating two E. coli O157 infections at different primary schools in the country.
Public Health Wales, Conwy County Borough Council and Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board are looking into a case of E. coli O157 at a primary school in Abergele.
The same three agencies are also investigating a probable case of E. coli O157 at a primary school in Conwy to try and find the source.
There is currently no evidence in either case to suggest the child acquired the infection at the school.
“Parents and guardians of pupils that attend the school and who may have had contact with this case have been contacted and advised on infection prevention and control measures, and what steps to take if their child develops symptoms. Contacts have been asked to submit samples for testing and to remain off school until negative results are received,” he said.
