Around 100 primary school students sent to hospital due to diarrhea
Nakhon Sri Thammarat — Several primary school students in downtown Nakhon Sri Thammarat were sent to the hospital after they started getting diarrhea.
The students developed food poisoning as a result of consuming boiled eggs made by the school. Some developed symptoms on the same day while others started vomiting and diarrhea in the morning at school, according to a report from Thai Residents.
One of the teachers hired a songthaew truck to deliver the primary school students to Nakhon Sri Thammarat Hospital on 27 February 2020. As more and more students got sick, some were sent to other hospitals as almost 100 students were suffering from diarrhea.
