Germany: outbreak waning, but more deaths possible
None
Germany's health minister says he's hopeful that the worst of an E. coli outbreak blamed on sprouts is over, but he is warning that the number of deaths, now at 33, may still increase.
Minister Daniel Bahr's comments came after health officials announced on Friday that they had traced the outbreak to sprouts from a farm in northern Germany. They also lifted a warning against eating cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce, which initially had been suspected as possible culprits. (AP)
