Approximately 400 people in the Sarayönü district of Konya applied to hospitals with complaints of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

MEDICATIONS RUN OUT

Due to the density in hospitals, the leaves of healthcare personnel were canceled, and many medications, especially for diarrhea, ran out in pharmacies. It was suggested that sewage water mixed with drinking water in poisoning cases, and an official statement was made regarding the issue.

STATEMENT FROM THE DISTRICT GOVERNOR'S OFFICE

In a statement from the district governor's office, it was noted that many citizens applied to healthcare institutions yesterday with complaints of diarrhea, fever, nausea, and vomiting. The rapid increase in cases has caused concern in the district, and it was reported that officials are continuing their investigations regarding the matter.

"NO NEGATIVITY DETECTED IN DRINKING WATER"

In a post made on the social media account of the Konya Metropolitan Municipality KOSKİ General Directorate, it was stated, "Separate water samples were taken by our teams from the Ministry of Health and KOSKİ regarding the cases of diarrhea and vomiting observed in our Sarayönü district, following the posts made on social media. As a result of all analyses, no negativity was detected in our drinking water. The cases experienced have no relation to the drinking water. We respectfully announce to the public."

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN KOCAELİ ALSO HOSPITALIZED

A horrific poisoning case also occurred in the Körfez district of Kocaeli. On the 2nd and 3rd days of the holiday, some people who bought chicken döner at a workplace on Atatürk Street in the Güney neighborhood experienced complaints of nausea and vomiting. A total of 648 people showing symptoms of poisoning were treated in various hospitals. After the interventions, some patients were discharged, while the condition of two patients being treated in Derince was reported to be critical. Following the incident, the döner shop, which was indicated to be the source of the complaints, was sealed and temporarily closed by the Körfez Municipality's inspection teams. Officials from the District Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry conducted inspections at the establishment and took samples from the products.

OWNERS OF THE ESTABLISHMENT ARRESTED

In the inspections conducted by the Kocaeli Food Control Laboratory Directorate, it was determined that the test results of the chicken döner sample were negative and that the sample did not comply with the Turkish Food Codex Microbiological Criteria Regulation. Due to the analysis not being in accordance with the Turkish Food Codex Microbiological Criteria Regulation, a criminal complaint was filed against the establishment by the Körfez District Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry. It was learned that the operators of the döner shop, identified as E.T. and K.Y., were arrested.
