New York (US):
Tests on a Brooklyn apartment where a man worked on unprocessed hides obtained from the man diagnosed with anthrax last week have tested negative for the bacteria, city officials said Sunday.
As a result, three people who had been started on antibiotics as a precaution _ a man who had worked on hides in the apartment and his family _ have been told that they can stop taking them.
Four other people continue to take preventative antibiotics, though none of then have any symptoms of anthrax infection. The man had obtained the hides from Vado Diomande, 44, who remained hospitalized in serious condition in Pennsylvania on Sunday.
