Travelers to Europe should be conscious of E.coli Outbreak in Northern Germany and take precautionary measures.

Great Bay (DCOMM):--- The World Health Organization (WHO), has reported an outbreak of severe illness in Germany, especially in the Northern part of that country of Haemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) caused by the E.coli bacteria, which is a disease that causes bloody diarrhea and kidney failure and possible death.

More than 1,730 people have been infected and 18 have died: 17 in Germany and another suspected death and one in Sweden.

The outbreak appears to be limited mainly to Northern Germany at this point in time. A few cases have been reported in other European countries such as the Netherlands, France, Sweden, United Kingdom, Austria, Czech Republic, Spain, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland and the United States but all these cases had travelled to Germany recently.

As a precautionary measure, the Ministry of Public Health, Social Development & Labour is advising persons traveling to Germany from the island to observe good hygiene (after toilet contact, regular hand washing, particularly before food preparation or consumption particularly for people who care for small children or are immune compromised).

The Robert Koch Institute in Germany is advising people as a precautionary measure to avoid eating raw tomatoes, cucumbers and leafy vegetables and ensure that food is thoroughly cooked before consumption.

The bacterium can be passed from person to person, as well as through food, water and direct contact with animals.

Persons returning from Germany should maintain proper hand hygiene and immediately seek medical care if they develop diarrhea and abdominal cramps.

The WHO at this point in time does not recommend any restrictions in travel to or trade with Germany.
