No other Wendy's restaurants are linked to the outbreak. Three cases have been hospitalized, all adults. In addition to the confirmed cases, two young children are hospitalized with bloody diarrhea.
Laboratory tests are pending.
The Oregon Health Division has been working closely with Marion County officials to identify the source of the illnesses. No specific foods have been implicated at this time. Marion County sanitarians have inspected the restaurant and are working with the operators to ensure safe operations. It is very easy to spread this infection from person to person. Good handwashing is the key to preventing further transmission.
