Authorities in Munich have received reports of over 30 people experiencing stomach issues after attending the spring festival there. Der Spiegel's advance report quoted the health department about ongoing investigations together with the food monitoring department. Munich Spring Festival took place from April 19th to May 5th.
Recently at the end of April, Stuttgart's spring festival also witnessed a suspected norovirus outbreak in one of the tents, with more than 700 individuals affected.
