Over 1000 students in Gampola Jinaraja Balika Vidyalaya were
hospitalized this morning, as a result of an alleged allergic reaction.
The
students had complained of nausea and skin irritation and had been
immediately hospitalized after their condition turned severe. Gampola
Hospital Director Sarath Weerabandara said they suspect the allergic
reaction could have been caused by a chemical pollution in the area.
It is said over 2000 students were present at school today.
The school has been closed for two days until the cleansing and fumigation of the school premises are completed.
