According to the information released by the local education department in Hohhot, many children in local kindergartens vomit because they are infected with norovirus, which is an ancient infectious virus. Gastrointestinal discomfort often occurs after infection, mainly manifested as acute gastroenteritis symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Some patients will suffer from severe dehydration after infection and need urgent medical treatment.
Norovirus is a virus, which can be transmitted through patients' feces or contaminated food and water, or through close contact. Although many children in this kindergarten in Hohhot vomited because they were infected with norovirus, there is no definite answer to how to be infected with norovirus. Some people speculate that it may be that the hygiene of kindergartens is not in place, which leads to the breeding of norovirus. Children in kindergartens are infected with this virus, causing large-scale spread.
Relatively closed places such as kindergartens, nurseries and nursing homes in hospitals are high-incidence areas of norovirus. In addition to drinking water through food and spreading feces, if children in kindergartens eat undercooked shellfish and seafood, they are easily infected with norovirus, which will lead to nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. Therefore, how this kindergarten in Hohhot is infected with norovirus still needs to wait for the specific investigation results of relevant local departments. If the virus is detected in children's food, it means that the food safety in kindergartens is not in place and needs to be rectified in time.
Parents in kindergarten take their children to the hospital for examination after they find their children vomiting. Most children were diagnosed as acute gastroenteritis by doctors. However, after passing the virus test, they found that their children were infected with norovirus, which led to pathological changes in the digestive system. In addition, children's gastrointestinal function is relatively poor, and their resistance to external infections is relatively low, so they will concentrate on treating diseases. Considering that this situation may be caused by children eating unclean things, doctors also remind other parents to pay attention to their children's food hygiene to prevent similar diseases.
