AHS conducted a public health inspection at Kinjo Mahogany earlier this week and found no critical violations of health regulations. The restaurant remains open as the investigation continues.
STEC spreads through food or water contaminated by fecal matter, and can be transmitted between people if they don't wash hands after using the restroom. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and diarrhea. Dehydration can result, though the illness usually goes away without treatment.
No STEC cases have been reported outside the September 18 outbreak. People experiencing symptoms have been advised to contact a healthcare provider.
