The school is now being sanitized, and teaching is largely conducted outdoors on Friday. Parents are urged to pick up their children after the school day ends, and siblings of infected children should stay home. According to Aftonbladet, Lisa Haraldsson described that the school has sanitization and extra cleaning, and they will send out that if someone vomits today, they are home until Monday so they don't get it back again.
Multiple reports indicate more than half of the school is home sick, with many falling ill on Thursday. Aftonbladet reports that more than half of the 165 students and 25 staff are home on Friday, with about 45 students at this F-3 school sick and some staff also staying home for health reasons. There are 24 confirmed cases, according to Aftonbladet. According to Aftonbladet, Lisa Haraldsson described that on Wednesday, students vomited at the school, and on Thursday, many were sick, with the infection spreading rapidly.
Even though we cleaned immediately, it had time to spread, so we have no concern about food poisoning.
The school acted quickly on 1177's guidelines, according to Aftonbladet, with sick individuals advised to be home for at least 48 hours. An email was sent to all guardians, Aftonbladet reports. According to SVT Halland, Lisa Haraldsson described that even though they cleaned immediately, it had time to spread, so they have no concern about food poisoning. According to Aftonbladet, Lisa Haraldsson described that she believes it is because sick students have returned too early and it should not be about food poisoning, adding that they have a kitchen that prepares food so she is not at all worried about that.
According to Eskilstuna-Kuriren, Carina Tinker described this as a common stomach flu, or winter vomiting sickness, but it came later than usual. The specific virus or pathogen causing the outbreak has not been identified, and it is unclear how long the outbreak will last or when normal operations will resume.
I am very grateful that everyone shows humility in this situation.
Aftonbladet reports that the school is open as usual, and Finningeskolan has had many children absent, both at the end of last week and on Monday. It is unknown whether the outbreaks at Eldsbergaskolan and Finningeskolan are connected or caused by the same pathogen. According to SVT Halland, Lisa Haraldsson described that she is very grateful that everyone shows humility in this situation. According to Aftonbladet, Lisa Haraldsson described that all guardians have been positive and with much fine humility said that they help each other in this, adding that the weekend means that those who are home get a few extra days to get healthy and it will be fine. The exact total number of students and staff at Eldsbergaskolan to determine the full scale of the outbreak is not specified, and the specific sanitization measures being taken have not been detailed.
