An outbreak of acute intestinal infection has occurred in the Ogonek children’s health camp in Svetlogorsk, Kaliningrad region. According to the regional department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, 32 children were poisoned, five had to be hospitalized. The camp shift has been suspended ahead of schedule since August 3. According to the publication “Klops.En”, on Friday and Saturday, August 2 and 3, children were taken by ambulance to Kaliningrad hospitals, in particular the Central City Clinical and Infectious Diseases Hospitals.
As noted in Rospotrebnadzor, the disease passes in a mild form: “The condition of the children is not in danger.” Samples of water, food, and ready-made food were taken at the camp, and staff are being examined. Both the IC and the prosecutor’s office have started checking. Later it became known that the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under part 1 of Article 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (provision of services that do not meet the requirements for the safety of life and health of consumers).
According to the acting governor of the Kaliningrad Region Alexei Besprozvanny, “everything is under control in other children’s institutions in the region, there are no threats.”
Located on the shores of the Baltic Sea, the Ogonek Recreation and Youth Initiative Support Center (as the camp is officially called) belongs to the Kaliningrad administration.
In the middle of July, as he wrote TourDom.ru , 26 teenagers who were vacationing at the Kalamitsky Breeze children’s camp in Yevpatoria were hospitalized with an acute intestinal infection. Rospotrebnadzor established that the causative agent of the infection was norovirus. It turned out that the camp did not comply with the standards for organizing the work of canteens, disinfected public places poorly or on time, and the drinking regime was not organized.
