Closure orders for four daycare sites in Calgary that received food from central kitchen where an E.coli outbreak occurred will be lifted on Monday.

On Sunday afternoon, Alberta Health Services (AHS) confirmed that Fueling Brains Bridgeland, Little Oak Early Education, Almond Branch and Braineer Academy, will be allowed to re-open at their discretion on Monday, as long as no staff or attendees from those sites test positive for E.coli before then.

None of the four facilities were linked to any positive E.coli cases, the health agency said. In a previous release, AHS said the closure orders were a precautionary measure.

CBC News has reached out to all four facilities since the AHS update.

Little Oak Early Education and Braineer Academy confirmed that they plan to reopen tomorrow. Almond Branch and Fueling Brains Bridgeland have not yet responded.
