On October 14, many students at the Center for National Defense and Security Education - Thai Nguyen University showed symptoms of digestive disorders. Immediately afterwards, the Center's medical department reported to the leaders and deployed emergency measures.
According to statistics, 244 students suffered from abdominal pain and were monitored and given medical care, of which 9 cases showed more severe symptoms and were transferred to A Thai Nguyen Hospital for examination.
