Since the children came from the same kindergarten, doctors suspected infection and tested 72 people. So far, one child has tested positive for salmonella, while the results for the others are expected to be released on Sunday.

There are currently 3 children in the Gramsh hospital. The Gramsh Municipality has taken precautionary measures by temporarily closing the kindergarten and disinfecting the premises.

It is suspected that the salmonella infection was contracted from food in the garden.
