Health officials in Kenya are currently looking into a sickness that they cannot identify. This sickness has caused over 90 schoolgirls to be taken to the hospital.
The students from Eregi Girls High School, which is in the west of the country, had trouble walking and felt pain in their knees.
A high-ranking official from the Ministry of Education visited the school on Tuesday and reassured concerned parents that everything was okay and being handled well.
He said that other students would continue having classes as normal.
Jared Obiero, the regional director of education, said that the education department, county government, and public health department have promised to take care of the children.
Samples of blood, urine, and stool from the sick students were sent to labs in Kisumu, a nearby city, and the capital, Nairobi.
Final results to find out the reason for the sickness are expected later today.
