A total of 20 people were hospitalized from the Rubas tourist base, including 17 children, with symptoms of an intestinal infection, the administration of the head of Dagestan reported.

Representatives of Rospotrebnadzor are working on the scene, but the possibility of poisoning during an excursion to one of the regions of the republic, where lunch was organized for the group, cannot be ruled out. Anti-epidemic measures are being carried out at the Rubas tourist base and in the village where the excursion took place.

Currently, the children's condition does not cause concern, they are receiving treatment, their health has significantly improved. The children will be discharged soon, the Dagestan Ministry of Health reported today.

A swimming group of 39 people (29 children, 6 parents and a coach) was vacationing at the Rubas tourist center in the Derbent district. After an excursion to the Karadakh Gorge and lunch in the Gunib district, the children began to show symptoms of poisoning, vomiting and fever, GTRK Dagestan reported.

The Rubas tourist center in the Derbent district is a complex on the seashore, which includes a park hotel, cottages and a campsite. The center is located on the first line, 18 km from Derbent, according to the website of the tourist center.

Earlier, "Kavkazsky Uzel" wrote that after mass poisoning in early July in five villages of the Magaramkent district (Magaramkent, Kuysun, Gilar, Gaptsakh and Verkhniy Tagirkent), an official responsible for housing and communal services was detained. Kindergartens in these villages were closed, and authorities organized the delivery of drinking water for residents. Those responsible for water supply did not disinfect water in reservoirs, water supply networks and storage tanks, the Ministry of Construction of Dagestan stated following an inspection.

The head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, called on the head of the Magaramkent district, Farid Akhmedov, not to go into military service and "answer for what happened." Those responsible for water supply did not disinfect water in reservoirs, water supply networks and storage tanks, the Ministry of Construction stated. A criminal case has been opened, and the director of the municipal budgetary institution "Housing and Utilities" has been arrested. The head of Dagestan, Sergey Melikov, called the mass poisoning the result of "negligence and irresponsibility" and promised that "everyone involved in this negligence will be held accountable."
