Gulu City leaders have spoken out on the increasing numbers of red-eye cases in some of the schools in the district.
According to Jane Frances Amongin Okili the RCC and also the health Geoffery Topiny are worried that the outbreak of the virus has come to the point where the students are doing term papers.
“At the moment we have four schools having this problem, and then some spotted areas in the communities” Topiny said.
According to the city health educator, schools and parents are encouraged to focus on hygienic standards and operating procedures like hand washing.
“We call on upon the public to practice the washing of hands with soap, and water and for those who feeling itching, or headache, to also be suspicious,” said the Gulu RCC, Amongin.
However, authorities in Gulu are worried the red eye disease could be spread even further by the return of learners to their homes.
