Two students in hospital with fever, headache

NST: Ten Kuala Krai Mara Junior Science College students were sent to the district hospital today with fever and headache.
They were examined to determine whether they had contracted viral fever, college principal Shamsudin Hussin said.
Eight returned home while two were admitted. "It is a precaution. We are not taking this lightly after the deaths of two of our students," he told the New Straits Times.
Siti Nazirah Said, 14, of Marang died of dengue fever on Feb 4. Amni Izati Ghani, 14, of Kemaman died of pneumonia on March 2.
Shamsudin said stool samples were taken from the 10 students as well as 30 others when they complained of fever. "We still do not know what caused them to fall ill."
To allay fear among parents, the school started its mid-semester holidays today instead of Thursday.
"We discussed this with our (Mara) headquarters in Kuala Lumpur and decided to start the holidays early."
Shamsuddin denied reports the college was closed yesterday and that it had sent 500 of its students home following the deaths.
Mara Education Department deputy director-general Datuk Nam Marthinin also denied claims the students were sent home.
"They were spending their time away from school for the weekends. That’s all," he said.
Health Ministry disease control director Dr Ramli Rahmat urged parents not to panic as the two deaths were unrelated and occurred a month apart.
He said the ministry was checking to find out how Amni Izati contracted pneumonia.
