County officials said they did not notify the public because there wasn't any evidence that infants treated at the UCI neonatal unit were at higher risk than infants admitted to other hospitals, the Times reported. The hospital said the last positive test for MRSA in a newborn at UCI was on March 26 and that baby has since tested negative.
