After a snack at Tue Duc School, many students had stomach aches and had to go to the hospital.

On March 26, parents of children studying at two facilities said that some children had symptoms of severe diarrhea after the afternoon meal on March 25. They suspected that their children were poisoned, so they took their children to the hospital for examination and testing.

On March 26, 3 students were asked to be absent from school by their parents because they had to take their children to the hospital for a check-up.

Four students at Luong Dinh Cua campus and two students at Nguyen Thi Dinh campus had to be hospitalized. The students also returned home today. These students had symptoms of stomachache and diarrhea, but more severe than the other students, suspected of having digestive disorders.

The remaining students are in stable health and are attending school as usual. All treatment and medical examination costs for the students affected during this period will be paid by the catering suppliers for both campuses to the parents. The school has also taken food samples for testing and the results will be available after 7 days, and will report to the Department of Education and Training of Thu Duc City.

It is known that on the afternoon of March 25, students of both these campuses had Korean fried vermicelli and strawberry yogurt for a snack. The unit providing meals for both of these campuses of Tue Duc School is Ha Thanh International Service Joint Stock Company (Haseca).

The school still serves meals on campus, but the menu has been changed, replacing them with light dishes suitable for the current hot weather.
