25 Japanese tourists isolated at Australia hospital

Twenty-five Japanese tourists have been isolated at a Sydney hospital after suffering from illness and vomiting.

vacation“Symptoms appear to be similar to food poisoning … it’s not confirmed but they are the kind of symptoms that we are looking at,” a southwestern Sydney local health district spokeswoman told AAP.

The tourists were on Tuesday isolated in part of Liverpool Hospital’s emergency department and measures to control any spread of a potential infection have been put in place.
