Group Exercise (cont’d)
An outbreak of gastrointestinal illness is linked to a local restaurant. Seven unrelated restaurant patrons are sick with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and
diarrhea. Onset of illness among cases was January 22-24. Two ill patrons had stool specimens positive for Salmonella.
The manager tells you two employees (Willard and Anita) usually make the salad. Making the chicken salad is a 2-day
process. You interview the employees to reconstruct how the salad was made.
