I was told that rectal swab had been undertaken and further scrutiny will still be made,” Advincula added. Some 40 affected students were reportedly brought to the Our Lady of the Pillar Medical Center and one at Medical Center Imus for check-up and treatment on July 10 and 11.About 10 students were reported to have been admitted but were eventually discharged.The city officials said there was no complaint from the students or parents about the incident.
