The Ministry of Health has confirmed all seven individuals who had consumed a cocktail at the Warick Resort and became sick have now been transferred to the Lautoka hospital.
The Ministry said out of the seven, four were Australians, one American and two foreigners who are residing in Fiji.
The Ministry of Health & Medical Services said in a statement this afternoon, the seven were taken to the Sigatoka Hospital last night with nausea, vomiting and neurological symptoms after consuming a cocktail drink prepared at a bar at the resort.
The affected patients’ age ranges from 18 to 56 years, and two patients have been transferred to Lautoka Hospital due to the severity of their condition, said the Ministry.
Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said in a travel advisory this afternoon for Australians to be alert to the “potential risks around drink spiking and methanol poisoning through consuming alcoholic drinks.”
