The Centre for Health Protection is investigating two food poisoning cases involving 11 people - five men and six women aged 20 to 23 - who fell ill after eating in a Macau hotel.

 

They came down with abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting and fever after the August 30 buffet.

 

Eight consulted private doctors or went to public hospitals. They are all stable and no hospitalisation was required.
