Salmonellagolf Flemish schools even bigger

brussels - The Salmonella infection that rages at Flemish nursery and primary schools has already made 453 children ill at 44 schools. This has been established for 313 children and there are strong suspicions for the rest.

The infection wave came to light more than a week ago, but now seems to be under control, reports the Flemish Agency for Care and Health. 'We have contacted the hospitals in the region and there have been fewer recordings since Monday. '

The company from Harelbeke that supplies the meals to all affected schools has been closed, but it is still not certain whether that is the source of the infections. The research is still ongoing. It is probably not due to food, according to samples that have been examined. It should be clear on Friday whether it was for the employees or for another infection hearth within the company, according to the food agency FAVV.

The symptoms of a Salmonella infection are nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
