‘Water not cause of Hatem poisoning cases’

By JT - Sep 19,2017 - Last updated at Sep 19,2017

AMMAN — Director of Irbid Health Department Qassim Mayyas on Monday said that the scientific tests have shown that water was not the reason behind the 62 poisoning cases in Hatem village earlier this week.

Mayyas told the Jordan News Agency, Petra, that the poisoning was more likely to be due to food from a restaurant in the village, from which samples are currently being tested.

The director added that only six patients are still at the Yarmouk Hospital, noting that no new cases were registered at the hospital on Monday.
