Parents are being told of four warning signs to look out for after a six-year-old child died from a rare bacteria outbreak at a primary school.
The youngster, who was in Year 1 at Ashford Church of England Primary School in Ashford, Surrey, died and a second child was taken to hospital, after they both contracted the bacteria known as Strep A.
Classmates and teachers were given strong antibiotics by specialists from the UK Health Security Agency and information has been shared with parents about the signs and symptoms of the bacteria - Group A streptococcal (iGAS).
