This hotel is said to be owned by close relatives of Salma.
In the refrigerator, the bottle may have been contaminated from bacteria in food and this might cause infection among children to be sent to the microbiology laboratory to find out what happens to the content.
The administration has also suspended the pharmacy to work with PHC because of its negligence because it failed to call the bottle back to cold storage.
