HYDERABAD: Panic gripped a residential school in the city after nearly 26 children fell ill with flu-like symptoms. The students of Social Welfare Residential School at Gowlidoddi were rushed to Continental Hospital in Gachibowli on Thursday night, after they complained of fever and cold, rousing suspicion of Covid-19.
All their samples were sent for Covid-19 test. Fortunately, only one of the students tested positive for the virus; he has been moved to the Coronavirus treatment ward. The others have been diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis. It may be mentioned that a week ago, the school’s principal had tested positive for Covid-19.
