Forty-eight tourists were hospitalized over suspected food poisoning as of Sunday morning after having meals at a resort in Binh Thuan Province, south-central Vietnam.
A group of 182 tourists checked into The Sailing Bay Mui Ne in Mui Ne Ward, Phan Thiet City on Friday and had dinner at Canh Buom Vang Restaurant that evening, according to the provincial Department of Health.
On Saturday morning, they had buffet meals at The Sailing Bay Mui Ne.
On the same day, 176 of them had lunch at the resort.
The first case was hospitalized at An Phuoc Hospital in Phan Thiet City at 3:00 pm on Saturday with symptoms of stomachache, diarrhea, and vomiting. The following cases developed the same symptoms.
