Children traveling from Yekaterinburg to Anapa by train have arrived, with some testing positive for norovirus type 2. Upon arrival, the children were immediately transported to a children’s hospital.

The Sverdlovsk Ministry of Health confirmed that the children were found to have norovirus type 2. Following examinations, 14 children who tested positive using rapid tests were kept in the hospital for observation. The remaining children were sent to the “Zhemchuzhina” camp isolation ward.

Previously, a group of schoolchildren was removed from the same train and hospitalized in the Liski hospital in the Voronezh region. Doctors have reported that their condition has improved, and they are preparing for discharge and will soon be brought to the camp.

Doctors emphasized that all children from the carriage where the infection outbreak occurred are in satisfactory condition. The train departed on June 2nd, with pediatricians from Yekaterinburg Children’s Hospital No. 9 accompanying the groups. The pediatricians identified the intestinal infection during the journey.

This incident follows a recent report of passengers on a plane from Yekaterinburg to Altai experiencing illness, which they attributed to airport food. In late April, there was also a mass poisoning of students at a school in Uralmash, where fourth-graders contracted an acute intestinal infection.
