As of Friday, as many as 150 students were home from school, either because they were or had been ill or because they were worried about being infected.
The test responses became clear this weekend and it turned out that it was a virus belonging to the group of calicivirus, what is usually called winter malaise, which was behind the outbreak.
“In order to stop the virus, we have cleaned, carefully cleaned and improved hygiene. In addition to this, we have been advised by the Council to ventilate and stay out with the students as much as possible, and we are doing so now. Everyone who has fallen ill should stay at home for at least 48 hours after the last symptom of illness, ie vomiting or diarrhea.
