As the number E. coli cases and questions in the Niagara region continue to mount, the area health authority said Wednesday that time and patience are needed before answers are found.

Twenty-three people in the southern Ontario area infected with E. coli are currently being investigated by Niagara Region Public Health, eight of whom have been confirmed to have E. coli 0157: H7, said Dr. Doug Sider, NRPH's associate medical officer of health.
