100 students have been admitted to various hospitals in a suspected outbreak of influenza at Rapogi Boys High School in Uriri, Migori County.
Confirming the incident, the senior principal Mr Erastus Nyagwa said about 100 students showing signs of dry cough and flu were taken to various hospitals within the county for further tests and treatment.
He says they suspected COVID-19 but the tests confirmed none was affected.
However,two students who were diagnosed with malaria were admitted to St Joseph’s Ombo Hospital and the entire school staff and students are put on care.
Mr Nyagwa is appealing to other schools to take precautions to avert such an outbreak.
