Hello,

according to the latest information I got from the news, the hints pointing to a caterer could be verified. Problem is also decreasing already again.

Hi Hygenic

latest news tells that the reason for ourbreak seems to be frozen strawberries imported from China and served as a dessert i.e. not really heat treated. In lot of children but not all Norovirus infection could be determined. Norovirus could not be detected in a sample yet. Therefor the discussions are related to Norovirus or biological toxins.
This link to the German Federal Institute for risk assessment is unfortunately in German
