According to the Lao Cai Provincial Health Department, the students developed similar symptoms of coughs, high fever, sore throats and tiredness between March 7-13.
Doctors at the Pho Rang Town Healthcare Centre had taken samples of 45 students for Covid-19 testing and the results came out negative. Meanwhile, three others were tested for Influenza A and showed positive results.
While other students are waiting for their test results, doctors said that it was more likely that they were infected with the Influenza A virus which usually spreads during this spring time.
