Claim 5: “Medical officials confirmed that all patients admitted to local healthcare facilities are currently out of danger.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results mention that 'all the affected individuals are now out of danger' in one instance, but the other web results provide varying numbers of ill people (e.g., 'More than 200 people fell ill' or 'over 80 people fell ill') and do not provide a single, consistent confirmation that *all* admitted patients are currently out of danger. The evidence is not strong enough to corroborate this status.
