‘The current condition of workers taken to hospitals from the construction site can be characterized as stable. We are going to have the results of the microbial flora test ready tonight, and, if these results don not alarm the doctors, all of IKEA employees will be allowed to leave the clinic,’ the spokesperson for municipal clinic № 40 Marina Ruvinskaya said to UrBC representative.

‘There are 126 patients out of 155 workers with food poisoning in the hospital at the moment. The rest of them took unauthorized leave without waiting for the results,’ Ms Ruvinskaya added.
