Eight children now feared to have died from Strep A as school confirms 'devastating' loss
after being diagnosed with an invasive Group A Streptococcal infection.
It comes after the deaths of Muhammad Ibrahim Ali, 4, in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire and Hanna Roap, 7, in Penarth, Wales. That number could change tomorrow as the UKHSA is expected to release more official data about the outbreak. He added: "We ask that the privacy of the family is respected. We are working closely with public health authorities to ensure that the family, our pupils and staff receive support.
In the past few weeks, Muhammad Ibrahim Ali, four, from High Wycombe, Hanna Roap, seven, from Penarth, Wales, a six-year-old child from Ashford in Surrey and a primary-school aged child from north Ealing, London have all died with Strep A infection.
