Another 23 children received medical recommendations after an examination by doctors and were released for home treatment. Their condition was deemed satisfactory.

Specialists are testing the food and dishes the children ate for breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks, and have also identified the suppliers. Samples have been sent for bacteriological testing. The epidemiological investigation is ongoing, and the final causes have not yet been named.

Earlier, a three-year-old kindergarten student in the Tashkent region died after drinking an insect control agent.
