A McDonald’s restaurant in New York has temporarily shut down as state and local health officials probe illnesses tied to 22 people who say they ate at the restaurant.

Officials from the New York State and Chautauqua County health agencies said in a joint statement that the multiple illnesses are “potentially associated” with a franchised McDonald’s at 2803 N. Main Street Extension in Jamestown, N.Y.

Of the 22 individuals, 15 said they ate “various breakfast sandwiches at the establishment” between Aug. 4 and Aug. 21.
