The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) confirmed a person in Knowsley has contracted the invasive bacterial infection. The diagnosis comes as six children have died after contracting the illness, known by its full name as Group A streptococcus.
Camila Rose Burns, from Bolton, is currently in Alder Hey on a ventilator after contracting the infection. Strep A is a bacterial infection sometimes found in the throat or skin.
