Health addresses student laryngeal injury reports
The Ministry of Health and Population clarified that croup (laryngeal obstruction) is an inflammation of the larynx and trachea caused by common respiratory viruses. It is not a new virus and is not related to diphtheria. The condition primarily affects children aged 6 months to 3 years, not school students. They confirmed that current infection rates are within the normal seasonal levels, and no outbreaks have been observed within schools. The Ministry also advised following preventive measures such as hand washing, good ventilation, and vaccinations. They emphasized that the illness is viral and can be treated with medical care without antibiotics, unless advised otherwise.
