7 tourists 'stable' after suspected alcohol poisoning, Fiji says
The Straits Times|December 17, 2024
SUVA Seven guests hospitalised after drinking cocktails in a luxury Fiji hotel - including four Australians and an American are now in stable condition, the Pacific island government said on Dec 16.

The seven were taken to hospital on the night of Dec 14 suffering from "nausea, vomiting and neurological symptoms", according to Fiji's Health Ministry.

They fell ill after drinking pina coladas prepared at a bar in the five-star Warwick Fiji resort on the Coral Coast, about 70km west of the capital Suva, it said.

One of the patients had been discharged on Dec 15 from the Sigatoka Hospital near the hotel, said Tourism Minister Viliame Gavoka.

The other six were transferred to the larger Lautoka Hospital on the island's west coast, he said, with two of them discharged earlier on Dec 16 and another two set to leave later in the day.

The two patients remaining in Lautoka Hospital were in a "stable condition" in intensive care, he told a news conference.
