At 2pm the same day, these students were still being monitored as they received treatment.
Some students said that before going to class, they ate rice vermicelli for breakfast at the school’s canteen, while others used food bought from shops outside the school.

Medical workers have co-ordinated with relevant agencies to take samples of the food for testing to pinpoint the cause of the food poisoning.
