  • HK: CHP investigates influenza outbreak at kindergarten-cum-child care centre

    Hong Kong (HKSAR) - The Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health is today (March 29) investigating an influenza outbreak at a kindergarten-cum-child care centre in Kowloon City, and again reminded members of the public to maintain good personal and environmental hygiene to protect against influenza.

    The 22 affected pupils, 12 boys and 10 girls aged from 2 to 5, have developed fever, cough and sore throat since February 25. Among them, 15 sought medical attention and five of them who required hospitalisation were discharged. All affected pupils are now in a stable condition.

    One hospitalised pupil's respiratory specimen tested positive for influenza A virus while those of another two hospitalised pupils tested positive for influenza B virus upon laboratory testing by respective hospitals.
