Local high school in my village - same story. Went back Tuesday, Wednesday poo yai announced 15 positive children, not seen a school kid yesterday or today.

Don't have kids so not party to any official announcements other than from the village chief.

Many kids vaccinated according to the wife.

I think more news like this to come unfortunately.
