More than 1000 people in South Korea are suffering from food poisoning linked to kimchi contaminated with norovirus.
Authorities said the popular fermented cabbage dish had been distributed to those now sick through school meals in the city.
They added that students and staff from 24 schools were among the patients with vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pains.
