Grenada health authorities Tuesday confirmed that an outbreak of Chicken Pox at a primary school has forced the closure of the school for at least one week. “The Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development further advises that any and all siblings of students who attend the St George’s Anglican Junior School should also remain at home, regardless which school those siblings attend, as a precautionary measure,” the ministry said in a statement. The advisory said that 17 cases of chicken pox were diagnosed among the students at the school, which is located in the heart of the city. “In this regard, the Chief Medical Officer has advised that the school be closed for the period Tuesday 23rd to Friday 26th February, 2016, so as to facilitate monitoring of all students, and treatment of those affected,” said the advisory which also appealed to parents and guardians to observe this advisory and to report any new cases, inclusive of adults in the home, to their nearest healthcare provider.
