All 65 needed medical help after the unnamed company took its employees for a party in the country's coldest region. 

Doctors diagnosed the victims with acute intestinal infection and hospitalised 21 of them, reported RIA Novosti citing the regional Emergency Situations Ministry.

Russia's state health and consumer rights watchdog Rospotrebnadzor is investigating the source of the poisoning and has temporarily closed the resort's cafe.
