As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by November 1, 10 children from the village of Dylym in the Kazbekovsky District had been diagnosed with symptoms of an intestinal infection. Six of them were hospitalized, while the rest are receiving outpatient treatment, the Dagestan Ministry of Health reported.

The condition of children hospitalized in the infectious diseases department of the Kazbekovskaya Central District Hospital has improved, the Dagestan Ministry of Health reported today on its Telegram channel.

"While undergoing treatment, the children are feeling well, and there is positive dynamics in the course of their acute intestinal infection. As of this morning, there are no new patients with symptoms of intestinal infection," the publication stated.

The head of the Kazbekovsky District met with the hospital's chief physician this morning, and the district administration reported. "The head of the medical facility reported that, to date, there have been no new admissions of children with acute intestinal infections symptoms.

As a reminder, in June 2024, at least 228 people were hospitalized in Buynaksk following a mass poisoning. Rospotrebnadzor (the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing) stated that tap water was the source of the mass contamination. In January 2021, there was also a mass water poisoning in Buynaksk, with 359 people seeking medical attention. Following a criminal investigation, the head of Buinakskvodokanal was fined only 100,000 rubles, although the prosecutor had demanded an even smaller fine of 50,000 rubles.

Mass poisonings in Buinaksk are occurring due to sewage leaking into worn-out water supply networks and illegal taps into the water supply system, experts noted.
