A foundation-grade student in a popular Dubai private school passed away yesterday.
The child was initially thought to have meningococcal meningitis, however, today the government has confirmed the tragic case is neither meningococcal meningitis nor communicable.
The school principal is believed to have communicated with concerned parents, saying, “I am writing to you in connection with the tragic news that one of our FS2 student unfortunately became ill last weekend and has sadly died.”
The cause is still not known and the authorities are investigating the case.
