Officials report the children are in satisfactory condition pending lab results on water and food samples.

Overview

  • All cases were recorded in the village of Dylim, with six minors hospitalized at the central district hospital and four treated as outpatients between October 31 and November 1.
  • Russia’s Investigative Committee opened a case under Article 238 Part 1 for provision of unsafe services, and the republic’s prosecutor’s office initiated a supervisory review.
  • Medical teams carried out door-to-door checks, collected tests from patients, and sampled food in kindergartens and water from the local network.
