The youngest hospitalized patient was 3 years old and the oldest was 59 years old, both residing in M'Drak commune.

"The center quickly directed departments to receive patients, examine and treat them. At the same time, it propagated to patients and their families not to panic so that they could feel secure during treatment," said Mr. Phuc.

M'Drak Medical Center has advised the People's Committee of M'Drak commune to establish a surprise inspection team for the street food service business of Ms. T's bread.

During the inspection, the seller had not provided the delegation with documents or contracts on the origin of the food ingredients for processing and selling. At the time of the inspection, the processor was not wearing gloves when selling.

The delegation made a record, took food samples for testing and requested the facility to temporarily suspend operations until further notice.

“This morning, the health condition of the patients has been relatively stable. Five patients will be discharged from the hospital and the remaining patients will continue to be monitored and treated, and are expected to be discharged in the next 1-2 days,” Mr. Phuc added.
