Sharjah: Six members of an Emirati family and their maid were admitted to Al Dhaid Hospital on Tuesday morning suffering from food poisoning after eating at a popular Dubai hotel restaurant.

Authorities will not reveal the name of the hotel until tests confirm it is responsible for the food poisoning.

A 32-year-old woman and her four children aged eight, seven, five and 18 months and the woman’s 28-year-old sister and the family maid were all affected.

They were admitted to the hospital’s emergency section at 6.30am complaining of nausea, dizziness and vomiting, a source from Al Dhaid Hospital told Gulf News.

The woman’s husband, who is in his later 40s and had not eaten at the hotel, was not affected.
