The health authorities are investigating reports of people suffering from gastroenteritis following a wedding reception in Kalkara on Thursday, with at least one person hospitalised.
The Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Unit has asked attendees at the wedding reception at Villa Bighi to fill in an online form indicating whether they had fallen ill, what kind of symptoms they had, and when.
They were also provided with a list of hot, cold and sweet canapés including fish, dairy and meat items, as well as so-called street-food station items, and asked to indicate which they had consumed. They were asked the same things about drinks and whether they had any ice in them.
Attendees were also asked whether they had any complaints about the food served at the event because it may have tasted bad or was not warm enough, among other reasons.
