9 out of 36 children hospitalized after poisoning in Orsk – Kommersant

Of the 36 children from Orsk who needed medical attention after being poisoned, nine were hospitalized, said the governor of the Orenburg region, Denis Pasler. According to him, nothing threatens the lives of children. The rest of the victims no longer have symptoms, but within the next two hours “their condition will be monitored at home.”

“The alleged source of poisoning of children has already been established – this is one product of the Novotroitsk dairy plant. Deliveries of all products from this enterprise are suspended both to social institutions and to the retail network until all the circumstances are clarified,” Mr. Pasler wrote in Telegram.

It was reported that in Orsk, ambulances 36 times went out to calls to children aged 3-6 with the same symptoms of poisoning on July 11. The mayor’s office said that the condition of the hospitalized was assessed as moderate, the preliminary diagnosis was food poisoning. Educational organizations against the backdrop of the incident were ordered to temporarily change suppliers. Residents were advised not to consume the plant’s products with a production date of July 11.
