In Washington it was reported that on Wednesday as of now 29 people have been recorded as having E. Coli across the state and in Oregon 12 accounts have been noted. According to health officials it could be because of the restaurant Chipotle.

11 of the cases in Washington have resulted in the Hospitalization of the victims and those that have the illness range from the ages of 1 to 67. 3 of the cases in Oregon have resulted in the Hospitalization of the victims and the authorities clam that Chipotle is linked to all of them. Five locations of Chipotle in Washington are under inspection and a few in Oregon. 

As a result of the recent outbreak Chipotle has voluntarily closed 43 of it's locations in Washington and Oregon. So far none of the cases have ended fatally. This is honestly really scary for me because I eat Chipotle about twice a week so to think that I could be at risk of getting E. Coli is scary.
