related to a cyclosporiasis outbreak.
According to a statement -- quote -- "Both individuals had significant underlying health conditions that may have been impacted by cyclosporiasis and dehydration."

The CDC has confirmed some 6,700 cases nationwide since early may, though Michigan alone has reported more than 11,000 suspected cases.
More than two dozen states, nearly all led by Democrats, are suing the Trump administration over its latest tariffs.
Last month, the government announced double-digit levies on 60 trading partners, saying they'd not done enough to crack down on imports produced by forced labor.
The new tariffs took effect just as prior ones expired.
In their lawsuit, the states argue the president exceeded his authority and is trying to replace tariffs that the Supreme Court struck down earlier this year.
They're asking the U.S.
Court of International Trade to halt the tariffs and refund duties paid by the states.
Officials in Southern Ukraine say Russia dropped eight glide bombs in a span of 90 minutes last night, killing at least one person and wounding dozens more.

All of Wales and more than half of England are now officially in drought.
Mauricio Pochettino is staying on as coach of the U.S.
men's soccer team through the 2030 World Cup.

The team fell to Belgium in the Round of 16, but managed to drive up enthusiasm for the sport nationwide.
Also today, the European soccer body UEFA threatened lawsuits against the international overseeing group FIFA for the now-canceled proposal to sell commercial stakes in the World Cup to private investors.

The world's third-smallest country, the Pacific island of Nauru, has changed its name, in a return to its roots.
The country's president says the new name, the Republic of Naoero, stays truer to its national language rather than Nauru, which was considered easier for foreigners to pronounce.
The country's international code will also change from NRU to NRO.
And its people will now be known as the dei-Naoero, instead of Nauruan.
It's the latest nation to change its name, joining countries like Turkiye and Eswatini, which is formerly Swaziland.
