Seven foreigners in Fiji were sent to hospital for suspected poisoning after drinking pina coladas at a five-star resort's bar, local authorities said.

From BBC, five are tourists, with one from the US and the rest from Australia, aged between 18 and 56. Two others are foreigners living in Fiji, according to local media reports citing the health ministry.

Some were previously reported to be seriously ill, but local officials said on Monday that their symptoms have since improved and some were set to be discharged.
