Source: European Union, European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). Published: 9/2019. This 31-page country visit report presents the findings of a case study into outbreaks of Shiga toxin/verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC/VTEC) at childcare facilities in Ireland, conducted in November 2018 to identify enablers and barriers for community and institutional synergies related to preparedness and control of infectious diseases. It is part of a wider European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control case study project to investigate the synergies between communities affected by serious public health threats and the institutions, both health- and non-health-related, that are mandated to prepare for and respond to them.
