Salmonella Outbreak at New York Correctional Facility Affects Over 300 Inmates
A significant Salmonella outbreak has been confirmed at the Broome County Correctional Facility in New York, affecting more than 300 individuals. Initially suspected to be norovirus, the illness was later identified as Salmonella following multiple test results. The outbreak began when inmates reported symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea to medical staff on May 25. Within 24 hours, over 140 people were evaluated for similar symptoms, and the number of affected individuals has since risen. The Broome County Health Department and Sheriff's Office are collaborating with the facility's food service provider, Trinity Services Group, to investigate the source of the contamination. Meal samples from the facility are being preserved for further analysis to determine the cause of the outbreak.
