The Centre for Health Protection of the Department of Health today (10th) investigated two outbreaks of upper respiratory tract infections involving two kindergartens in Wong Tai Sin and Sham Shui Po districts. A total of 46 children developed fever and sore throat.
As the two kindergartens were included in the mandatory testing announcement on the 10th and April 22 of this month respectively, the Center for Protection has requested the kindergartens concerned to suspend classes for at least 5 days for cleaning.
As the symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection are similar to those of new coronary pneumonia, two kindergartens have been included in the mandatory testing list earlier.
