Preschool children in Kristianstad died of streptococcus

– We regret what happened, it is very tragic, says Magnus Granholm, head of school for the Östra school area, to the newspaper.

– It is a tragic death of a child at preschool and the other child is still seriously ill.

Information about the infection was sent out to guardians already last week. The staff at the preschool have received information on how to handle the infection and are following the advice from Smittskydd Skåne.

Magnus Granholm emphasizes that it is not a large outbreak of streptococci at the preschool, but individual cases.
