Some parents have since rushed to hospital to check on their children.
The Medical Director in charge of the St Joseph’s Hospital, Dr. David Kupualor, has said the facility is trying its best to manage the situation.
“A lot of students were rushed here from Sunday evening and Monday with complaints about stomach aches, clinical research done on them indicated they had diarrhoea so we quickly administered treatment and medication and some are on admission while others have been treated and discharged,” he said.
