Health Dept follows up on food poisoning

07-09-2008

The Health Department says it's following up on the case in which one hundred and four people have fallen ill in Macau after having suspected tainted oysters supplied by a Hong Kong seafood company. They felt sick after having buffet dinners at the Sands Macau hotel, the Venetian and the Hotel Golden Dragon. The Health Director, Lam Ping-yan, said oysters were considered as high-risk food, adding that his department would liaise with his Macau counterpart on the case. At the same time, he said the two people who suffered norovirus infection at the Paralympic Village early this week had been discharged from hospital after treatment.
