Mystery illness strikes Nagykoros
Hundreds of people have fallen ill in Nagykoros, Pest county in recent days, HVG reports.
It is not known for the time being what caused the illnesses as the authorities have not yet completed their tests.
Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain.
Five children who were hospitalised due to dehydration have been released.
The national food safety authority Nebih took the necessary steps in the affected institutions, including ordering a major disinfection clean-up, which also extended to the kitchen facilities.
An investigation into the incident is currently underway.
Caterer Eatrend, which provides meals to the public in the town, said a virus has appeared in several points of the country, as well as in Nagykoros.
It said the food samples examined by the food safety authority are negative. (hvg.hu; 24.hu; 444.hu; economx.hu; nepszava.hu; telex.hu)

Drug raid nets eight dealers
More than 150 police officers detained eight drug dealers and 33 drug users at 36 locations in raids in Pest county in recent days.
Four of the dealers were taken into custody, police said.
Pest county police officers searched for illicit drugs in 23 night spots and 13 other locations, impounding nearly 1.5 kilograms of drugs and more than Ft 600,000 in three days, coming from drug trafficking.
A Debrecen night spot had to close early, as police searched everybody on the premises.
Although the government passed one of Europe’s most stringent drug laws in 2012, the drug situation has not improved since then, Telex writes.
Five years after the drugs should have disappeared from the country, according to the government’s promise, the drug problem assumed such high proportions that the prime minister could not ignore it in his speech on February 28.
Fidesz MP Laszlo Horvath was recently given the newly created position of government commissioner against drugs. (telex.hu; police.hu; magyarnemzet.hu; 24.hu; hirado.hu)
