Local Crypto Cases Increase By Nearly 70 Percent

cdc.gov

Columbus Public Health says there are now 423 cryptosporidiosis cases in Columbus and Franklin and Delaware Counties, up nearly 70 percent from last week. Department officials say it's the biggest outbreak in 15 years.  More cases are expected as it takes roughly two weeks for symptoms to show up.
