According to the plan, the restaurant would have reopened on Tuesday - but that's not going to happen. In an email that Expressen has taken part of, Coco & Carmen writes that the reopening is being postponed because they have not yet received an answer to what caused the outbreak.
Stockholm City's environmental administration has received preliminary test results showing that listeria was found on both surfaces and food at the restaurant, reports TV4.
But what is the source of the outbreak is still unclear.
It's a bit tricky because the preliminary report only says whether there is listeria or not. But if you don't know the amount, it says nothing. Listeria can be found everywhere, really, says Lovisa Grimsell, press spokesperson at the environmental administration in Stockholm, to Expressen.
A comprehensive sanitation work is currently underway, writes Coco & Carmen on their website. It "includes the entire kitchen, restaurant and sanitary facilities regardless of whether there has been any occurrence of listeria or not". Among other things, all food and all cutting boards have been thrown away.
In total, 13 people have so far been confirmed infected with listeria after visiting Coco & Carmen, reports region Stockholm on Monday. Over 150 people have had symptoms and visited the hospital in the region. Right now, no patient is being cared for due to the outbreak at any hospital, and no one has needed intensive care, writes the region in an email to TT.
