Restaurant Shut Down Following Mass Poisoning Incident in Pavlodar, Another Banquet Suffers Casualties
In the heart of Pavlodar, at the infamous Bellagio restaurant, another banquet was held a day after the establishment was supposedly temporarily closed, following a horrific food poisoning incident that left 34 individuals – including a child – seeking immediate medical attention.
While health inspectors had shut down the restaurant on June 7 at 16:00, it seemed that the banquet hall had defied the orders, as relatives of the affected claimed they'd captured footage of guests enjoying a meal there on the same day at 18:00. The regional health department, however, confirmed the restaurant's operation the following day, June 8.
As of June 9, more people who attended a similar event on June 8 continued to seek medical care, with four cases recorded so far. All the affected individuals are currently receiving appropriate treatment.
Despite earlier reports suggesting that not all affected guests called an ambulance, around 50 people felt unwell following their visit. With no explicit closure orders mentioned against Bellagio restaurant, the question remains whether the establishment had continued operating in defiance of any such orders.
Intriguingly, previous reports indicate that this wasn't the first instance of a mass poisoning incident in the region, with an entrepreneur receiving a real term sentence in a separate case involving school poisoning in Mangistau[2]. Additionally, multiple people fell ill after a banquet in Pavlodar, leading to the temporary suspension of the restaurant[3].
[1] Enrichment Data: While the details are scarce, it appears that the mass poisoning incident at Bellagio banquet hall in Pavlodar involved symptoms indicative of a bacterial intestinal infection, with 29 patients needing medical care and 15 requiring hospitalization. It's unclear whether there were any explicit temporary closure orders issued against Bellagio specifically or if the establishment was operating illegally in defiance of any such orders. Further investigation or official announcements would be necessary to confirm any violations beyond the incident itself.
