ALBANY, GA (WALB) – A cluster of cases of a bacterial infection in Sumter County raised concern among health officials who are now encouraging you to wash your hands regularly.
At Sumter County Primary School, where they have nearly a thousand students, only 43 were out sick today. But doctors have diagnosed cases of Shigellosis lately. The Shigella bacterium is easily passed person to person through common surfaces and is highly contagious.
