Tension has taken over the very popular Queens College in Lagos as mass bacterial infection hits the school.
The Lagos State government has advised an indefinite shutdown of
Queens College over the outbreak of water-borne disease in the school.
Addressing journalists in Lagos on Thursday, Jide Idris, the
state’s Commissioner of Health, said the school’s resumption should be
delayed until appropriate health measures are put in place for the
safety of the students.
Two students have died since the outbreak of water-borne diseases
in the school, with more than 50 others currently on admission in the
school’s clinic after eating spaghetti and drinking water in the
refectory.
Mr. Idris said water samples were collected from the school and
analysed at the state’s Drug Quality Control Laboratory as well as the
Microbiology Department of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital.
“The results from the two laboratories showed high bacteria
content in the water samples from kitchen, behind dining hall and Queens
Delight, the school water factory,” said Mr. Idris.
“The bacteria range from Coliforms, Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Klebsiella ozoana, and Aeromonas hydrophilia.”
The school, a federal government-owned institution, is billed to
reopen from its midterm break on March 19, but Mr. Idris called for a
postponement because, according to results from school’s sick bay, onset
of the students’ illness began on January 16.
“The total number of students who presented at the clinic on
account of abdominal pain, fever, vomiting and diarrhoea was 1,222 from
the first date of presentation (11/01/17) to the last date of
presentation (15/02/17),” Mr. Idris said.
“There were four different peak periods of infection namely 31st January 2017, 2nd, 8th, and 14th of February 2017.
“16 ill cases were admitted in various hospitals. Nine have
been discharged, two died, while one is still on admission at the
Intensive Care Unit of LASUTH and three at LUTH."
