Accordingly, each student was given a cup of milk tea purchased from Co Ba Saigon Tea and Sweet Soup Shop (address 19 Phung Hung Street, Pleiku City). There were 46 students given milk tea.

At around 9:30 a.m., some children showed signs of stomachache, nausea, and dizziness. The Board of Directors notified the Ward Health Station to come and check, verify, and provide support.
