Minister for Tourism Viliame Gavoka confirms that 1 out of 2 guests admitted at the ICU at Aspen Lautoka Hospital has been moved to a normal ward following an alleged spiked cocktail incident at Warwick Resort.

Gavoka says the condition of the guest has improved while five guests have been discharged.

When asked about the toxicology report, the Deputy Prime Minister says it will take three to four days and he is keen to see the results of the report.

He earlier confirmed that the guests had consumed Pina Colada.

When asked by fijivillage News if the incident could have been a deliberate act, given that only seven guests were affected at a specific bar, Gavoka dismissed the possibility saying that the bar attendant has 16 years of experience.

He says it's something else that they need to identify.

Gavoka says the affected guests experienced symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and neurological issues.

The Deputy Prime Minister says they are receiving the best care possible.

He says the Health Ministry and Police are investigating the matter, though no further cases have been reported.

Gavoka says this is an extremely isolated incident, affecting only these seven guests at a specific bar within the resort.

He says no other incidents have been reported either at the resort, or across Fiji.
