Two more confirmed cases of same deadly infection that killed girl found at nearby school
A spokesman for the UK Health Security Agency said in response to the latest confirmed cases: "As part of our public health response to last week’s tragic news, we issued some general information about the signs and symptoms of scarlet fever, which is not uncommon, to schools in the vicinity of Ashford Primary.
The child who died was in Year 1 at the Ashford Church of England Primary School in Ashford and was believed to have succumbed to the invasive Group A streptococcal infection last Tuesday. In very rare cases, the infection can become invasive and enter parts of the body where bacteria aren't normally found, which can be serious.
“As a precautionary measure, we have recommended antibiotics to pupils and staff in the same year groups as the individuals affected.
