The Public Prosecutor ordered late on Sunday the detention of three hotel workers pending an investigation into the food poisoning suffered by about 47 foreign tourists, most of them from Russia, at a hotel in the popular Red Sea resort of Hurghada, the AP reported.

In a statement, Public Prosecutor Hamada el-Sawy said that the workers, including the hotel’s top chef, face accusations of endangering the guests’ lives. The workers denied the accusations, the prosecutor’s statement said.

The sickened tourists included 14 Estonians, 29 Russians and four from the Czech Republic.

They were hospitalised after they had dinner over the weekend in the resort city of Hurghada, the statement said.

Tourism authorities have ordered the closure of the hotel, suspended its director and revoked his work licence.

The Russian embassy in Cairo said that all Russian tourists hospitalized in the Egyptian resort town of Hurghada with symptoms of food poisoning have completed treatment at local medical facilities and were discharged.
