Scarlet Fever cases on Island 'remain small' says gov't

The number of cases of Scarlet Fever on Island 'remain small.'

According to the government, since November 28 fewer than 10 cases in children have been confirmed.

Public Health has not been notified of any children with iGAS, which is the invasive, more serious condition. 

Parents are currently being asked to look out for symptoms - such as sore throat, headache, fever, nausea and vomiting - following the deaths of nine children in the UK caused by Strep A.
