The CDC says “The true number of sick people in an outbreak is likely higher than the number reported, and the outbreak may not be limited to the states with known illnesses.

In addition, recent illnesses may not yet be reported as it usually takes 3 to 4 weeks to determine if a sick person is part of an outbreak.”

Almost all of those infected either live in Florida or have traveled to the state.

Officials with the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration have linked the outbreak to Big Olaf Creamery brand ice cream in Sarasota, Florida.
