［2023年3月16日］
赤柱聖士提反書院附屬小學爆發的急性腸胃炎個案，21名學生先後出現病徵, 當中七人已求醫，全部無需入院。
根據衞生署衞生防護中心的流行病學調查，爆發個案均為該校六年級的留宿學生。當中四名男學生首先於三月十四日傍晚出現腹瀉及嘔吐病徵，並有學生在男生宿舍樓層內嘔吐。其他留宿學生陸續於三月十五日及十六日出現嘔吐和腹瀉病徵。為審慎起見，衞生防護中心人員今午已聯同食物環境衞生署食物安全中心人員到該校視察，初步認為學校製作膳食的環境衞生情況滿意。
由於受影響學生的病發日期橫跨數天，而其他曾進食共同食物的非留宿學生未有不尋常的情況，中心初步調查顯示事件較大機會屬人傳人或環境污染所導致的急性腸胃炎爆發所引起，涉及食物中毒的機會較低。衞生防護中心正繼續調查。
The Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health (DH) is today (March 16) investigating an outbreak of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) at a primary school in Stanley, and hence reminded the public and management of institutions to maintain personal and environmental hygiene against AGE.
The outbreak involves 21 students, comprising 18 males and three females aged 11 to 12. Seven of them sought medical attention and none required hospitalisation.
According to the CHP's epidemiological investigation, all students involved in the outbreak are Grade six boarding students. Four of them developed diarrhoea and vomiting earliest in the evening of March 14, and a student had vomited in the male session of the dormitory. Other boarding students developed vomiting and diarrhoea from March 15 to 16. For the sake of prudence, officers of the CHP have conducted a site visit this afternoon together with officers of the Centre for Food Safety of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, and the preliminary assessment on the food production environment hygiene of the school was considered satisfactory.
As the onset dates of affected students span over a few days, and no unusual sick pattern was notified among non-boarding students who consumed common food, the initial investigation of the CHP suggested that there was an outbreak of AGE with a higher chance of person-to-person transmission or environmental contamination and the chance of involving food poisoning is relatively low.
Investigations are ongoing.
