On May 7, the People's Committee of Bac Gia Nghia Ward (Lam Dong) said that the health agency recorded 2 quai bi outbreaks appearing at Tran Quoc Toan Primary School and Anh Duong Kindergarten, with many students sick.
According to the Bac Gia Nghia Ward Health Station, mumps is a contagious disease that easily spreads in the school environment if not controlled in time.
Immediately after detecting the outbreak, the Ward Health Station coordinated with the Ward Military Command and schools to implement epidemic prevention and control measures.
Students with the disease are guided to isolate, treat and monitor their health according to regulations.
Functional forces also organized disinfection spraying, cleaning classrooms, school supplies and common living areas to limit the risk of spread.
Along with that, the health sector promotes propaganda to parents, teachers and students about disease prevention measures such as maintaining personal hygiene, washing hands regularly, monitoring symptoms and taking children to the doctor in time.
Local health sectors also encourage parents to review and supplement vaccination against mumps for children to increase disease prevention effectiveness.
