On April 5, Mr. Trinh Van Quyet, Deputy Director of Lam Dong Department of Health, said that the department's interdisciplinary inspection team is coordinating with the People's Committee of Di Linh District to verify and clarify the case of 30 students of Tan Chau Secondary School (Di Linh District) who had to be hospitalized for health check-ups after eating candy of unknown origin.
Many students had to go to Di Linh District Medical Center for health check-ups after eating candy of unknown origin.
According to the initial report of Di Linh District Medical Center, on the evening of April 4, dozens of students from Tan Chau Secondary School (Tan Chau Commune, Di Linh District) went to the hospital for a health check due to symptoms of headache, stomachache, and nausea. According to the students' statements, earlier that afternoon, they bought candy at a grocery store near the school and brought it to class to share.

Doctors at Di Linh Medical Center confirmed that the children with the above unusual symptoms who came to the Center for examination did not have food poisoning, but were showing clinical symptoms of mild hysteria (mental disorder).
At 7 p.m. the same day, when the health of the students was stable, the doctors sent them home for monitoring, only one student continued to stay at the District Medical Center due to more severe symptoms. Last night, the authorities in Di Linh District temporarily sealed the batch of candy of unknown origin that the grocery store had sold to the students.

Mr. Quyet said that due to the history of students eating candy of unknown origin, on the morning of April 5, the Department of Health established an interdisciplinary inspection team including the Department of Health's Professional Department, the Department of Food Safety and Hygiene, the Di Linh District Health Department, the Di Linh District Health Center in coordination with the Department of Education and Training, the Department of Economics and Infrastructure of Di Linh District to continue to verify the cause and inspect the grocery store where the students bought candy of unknown origin to share.
Mr. Quyet added that according to current regulations, candy and cakes are managed by the industry and trade sector, so the interdisciplinary inspection team requested the Economic - Infrastructure Department of Di Linh District to take samples of candy of unknown origin sold at the grocery store for testing to determine whether the reason the children had to go to the Medical Center for a health check was due to candy or not.
"When the inspection team has an official conclusion that many students in Di Linh District have symptoms of disorder and fatigue and have to go to Di Linh District Medical Center for examination, the Department of Health will inform the press," said Mr. Quyet. Mr. Quyet also recommended that students in schools in the province when buying candy and drinks should buy those with clear origins to ensure food hygiene and safety and health.
