土耳其Tokat水质警告：近3000人就医
土耳其北部城市 Tokat 发布饮用水警告：在近 3000 人因肠胃症状就医后，当局建议居民和游客不要饮用市政自来水，也不要用自来水准备食物。
据旅游新闻网站 FTN News 10 月 11 日报道，就诊人数自 10 月 9 日（周五）晚间开始上升，患者陆续出现恶心、呕吐、腹痛和腹泻等症状。截至 10 月 11 日（周日）上午 8 点，共有 2914 人前往当地医疗机构就诊。Tokat 省长办公室表示，其中 18 名儿童正在住院治疗，已有 6 人出院，继续留院的儿童情况良好，暂无重症报告。
病因目前仍在调查中，当局尚未确认市政供水系统与这波肠胃症状有关。但出于谨慎，省长办公室已正式发布用水警告，要求市民在调查结论出炉前改饮瓶装水，避免用自来水烹饪或清洗食材。另据报道，为配合全面的消毒工作，Tokat 市中心的学校将在 10 月 12 日（周一）停课一天。
Tokat 位于土耳其北部，是一座拥有奥斯曼时期历史街区的古城，Taşhan 等历史建筑是当地知名地标，每年吸引不少游客到访。此次大规模肠胃症状集中出现正值旅游季，省长办公室特别提醒到访游客注意饮水安全，外出就餐也尽量选择瓶装水。
肠胃症状群发通常与水源或食物污染有关，但官方强调，在实验室检测结果出炉前不宜下定论。当地卫生部门已采集多个供水点的水样送检，并加强对各医疗机构就诊情况的监测，一旦发现新的聚集性病例将及时通报。
卫生部门提醒，出现持续呕吐、腹泻、发热或脱水症状者应及时就医，儿童、老人等人群更需留意补水。GSM 将继续关注官方调查进展，有新消息将及时跟进报道。
目前 Tokat 各医院运转正常，省长办公室表示医疗物资充足，请市民不必恐慌，留意官方发布的后续通报即可。
Water Warning in Tokat, Türkiye: Nearly 3,000 Seek Medical Care (First Report)
Authorities in the northern Turkish city of Tokat have issued a drinking-water warning after nearly 3,000 people sought medical care with gastrointestinal symptoms, advising residents and visitors not to drink municipal tap water or use it to prepare food.
According to FTN News on Oct. 11, hospital visits began rising Friday evening, Oct. 9, with patients reporting nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. As of 8 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 11, a total of 2,914 people had visited health facilities with these symptoms, the Tokat Governor's Office said. Eighteen children were receiving hospital treatment, six of whom had been discharged; the children continuing treatment were reported to be in good condition, with no severe cases reported.
The cause of the illnesses remains under investigation, and authorities have not confirmed that the municipal water supply is responsible. As a precaution, the governor's office formally advised residents to switch to bottled water and avoid using tap water for cooking or washing food until the investigation concludes. Schools in central Tokat will close Monday, Oct. 12, to allow disinfection work, officials announced.
Tokat, in northern Türkiye, is an ancient city known for its Ottoman-era historic quarter, including landmarks such as Taşhan, and draws visitors each year. With the cluster of cases emerging during the travel season, the governor's office specifically urged tourists to mind drinking-water safety and to choose bottled water when dining out.
Mass gastrointestinal symptoms are often linked to contaminated water or food, but officials stressed that no conclusion should be drawn before laboratory results are in. Local health authorities have collected water samples from multiple supply points for testing and stepped up monitoring at medical facilities, promising timely updates if new clusters emerge.
Health officials advise anyone with persistent vomiting, diarrhea, fever or signs of dehydration to seek medical care promptly, with extra attention to hydration for children and the elderly.
