Scottish officials probe E Coil outbreak

Health officials in Scotland are investigating an E Coli outbreak there.

One elderly woman has died and her husband is seriously ill.

Four other people are recovering at home as a result of the infection.

The outbreak has been linked to cold meats sold at two branches of a supermarket chain in Paisley in Scotland.

There are unconfirmed reports that a Scottish woman is being treated for the E Coil infection in a hospital in Ireland.

The Department of Health and Children in Ireland has not been formally notified of a patient being treated in hospital for an E Coli infection, however, a spokesperson said that a woman from Paisley in Scotland has been hospitalised while on holiday.
