People are being urged to take steps to reduce the risk of becoming unwell
A warning has been issued as the authorities have not yet traced the source of a serious outbreak of illness which has hit travellers coming back from Turkey.
Most of the travellers had stayed in hotels in the Antalya region of Turkey and had contracted severe infections. The UK Health Security Agency said it detected clusters of the Salmonella Enteritidis strain which they believe there is a common source of infection - as Wales Online reports.An investigation was launched after 241 confirmed cases were found and discovered that many of the people had been staying in "all inclusive" hotels where food was laid on for everyone in buffets.
“Recently prepared, thoroughly cooked food that is served piping hot, fruit that can be peeled by the traveller , and pasteurised dairy produce such as yoghurts, milk and cheese are good options for travellers. People feeling unwell with gastrointestinal illness should avoid preparing food or drinks for others until they are free of symptoms."
UKHSA is liaising with ABTA, Turkish public health authorities and other international public health partners to inform investigations of these clusters. UKHSA is also working with the National Travel Health Network and Centre to ensure appropriate advice is in place for UK travellers.
