The media also asked about the latest situation of Jingxing Elementary School, and the Education Bureau issued an official document stating that the supply of cephalopods and crustacean aquatic products for the selected meals in October and November could be postponed if the supply is unstable and replaced by other products. Netizens questioned whether the quality of the seafood could be guaranteed because of the ongoing situation?

Jiang Wanan responded that the Education Bureau stated yesterday that the teachers and students at Jingxing Elementary School were initially diagnosed with norovirus or gastrointestinal cold, which caused digestive tract discomfort. The children have now recovered.

Jiang Wanan also said that for the sake of caution, the Education Bureau and the Health Bureau went to the school to inspect the school as soon as possible, and collected and submitted samples for testing. Currently, there are no problems with the same batch of small papers from the two schools, and they are all normal. They continue to care about the condition of the children. The samples collected by the Health Bureau have been sent for testing, and they are waiting for the test results to come out.
