The UK Health Security Agency said on Friday that a further 13 cases have been associated with the recent outbreak, brining the total number to 288. The update follows the news of a person's death linked to the outbreak.
UKHSA incident director Amy Douglas, said: "Symptoms of infections with STEC include severe and sometimes bloody diarrhoea, stomach cramps, vomiting and fever. While diarrhoea and vomiting can have a range of causes, there are simple steps you can take to reduce your risk and the risk of infecting others.
