However, PHE East Midlands is working closely with colleagues in the Charnwood Borough Council on Environmental Health following the confirmation of two cases of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) in two siblings.
The Charnwood Council is based in northern Leicestershire and includes the city of Loughborough within its boundaries.
PHE confirmed that both children were dead and their thoughts were with the family.
The tragedy allegedly took place in the East Midlands, in an area near the town of Loughborough (PA).
Lauren Ahyow, PHE East Midlands Communicable Disease Control Consultant, said, "E.coli infection is an infection that causes a range of illnesses from mild diarrhea to severe bloody diarrhea, most of the time without fever.
"Sometimes the infection can cause a disease called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) that affects the kidneys and can be very serious.
"Young children and the elderly are more likely to develop complications associated with E. coli.
"E. E. coli can be contracted through various routes, including contaminated food, contact with farm animals and infected water.
"PHE is working with partners to deepen its research and try to find a source of infection."
The body says that people can be reassured. The E. coli infection is a relatively rare infection, adding that good hand hygiene and supervised hand hygiene are essential to minimize the risk of contracting an infection such as E. coli.
