Colorado postal worker does not have anthrax

DENVER, Colorado (CNN) -- Conclusive tests show a postal worker from Ft. Collins, Colorado, hospitalized with pneumonia does not have anthrax, Gov. Bill Owens said late Saturday.

Earlier in the day, Owens had ordered the temporary closure of two postal facilities in Ft. Collins until the test results on the man were known.

The 41-year-old man, who worked at the Boardwalk facility, was hospitalized Tuesday, said Colorado Public Health Department spokeswoman Cindy Parmenter.

Some 200 employees from the Boardwalk facility and the Old Town Station Post Office were given antibiotics as a precaution, and were advised to continue taking them until environmental testing at the facilities are complete and the results are known.

At a clinic set up for the employees, two other Boardwalk workers were found to have some respiratory problems, but Larimer County Health Department Director Dr. Adrienne LeBailly said they appear to be suffering "from mild pneumonia and that there is no apparent anthrax involvement."

The two facilities will remain closed until results come back from the on-site anthrax testing.

Meanwhile, in New Jersey, four postal facilities were reopened Saturday after traces of anthrax were cleared from the buildings.

The four facilities were closed overnight for cleaning after traces of anthrax were found at Palmer Square Station in Princeton, the main office in Rocky Hill, Villa Park (Station E) in Trenton and the main Jackson post office, state health department spokesman Eddie Bresnitz said Friday.

"We're not recommending antibiotics for the workers because we consider it a very low risk for anthrax," Bresnitz told reporters Friday afternoon.

The four re-opened facilities were not the only postal sites where anthrax was found in New Jersey. The most significant discovery was at the Trenton regional processing plant in Hamilton Township, where three anthrax-tainted letters were postmarked and sent to the Washington office of U.S. Sen. Tom Daschle and two New York media outlets.
