TWENTY-FIVE Japanese tourists have been isolated at a Sydney hospital after suffering from illness and vomiting.

“SYMPTOMS appear to be similar to food poisoning … it’s not confirmed but they are the kind of symptoms that we are looking at,” a southwestern Sydney local health district spokeswoman told AAP.

The tourists were on Tuesday isolated in part of Liverpool Hospital’s emergency department and measures to control any spread of a potential infection have been put in place. “There is no risk of any transfer to other patients,” the health district said in a statement.
