It is believed that the child contracted the illness after coming into contact with another student who had it, highlighting how quickly the infection can spread in schools without preventive measures being taken.

Antibiotics are usually prescribed to treat bacterial infections like Streptococcus A, but they do not work against viruses or other germs. Unfortunately, antibiotics lose their effectiveness over time as bacteria become increasingly resistant. Even when an antibiotic is used, it may not treat the infection effectively.

In response to this tragic incident, the school and local health officials are ensuring that students and staff know the benefits of preventive measures, such as good handwashing practices. They have also advised parents on what symptoms to look for to prevent further cases.
