Recently, a suspected water source pollution incident occurred in the central Thai province of Supanburi, leading to participation in the celebration of the Water Splashing Festival65 children have developed symptoms such as high fever, vomiting, and diarrhea, and have urgently sought medical treatment.

This Water Splashing Festival celebration is held onThe event was held from April 13th to 17th at the Banana Species Conservation Center in Supanburi Prefecture, attracting a large number of children and parents to participate. However, shortly after the activity ended, some children began to experience discomfort symptoms.

According to Taiwan's Zhongshi News Network, A Nong, chairman of the Supan Buri Banana Species Conservation Center, said in an interview that during the event, the water used for the foam party was originally provided by the local Public Safety Prevention Bureau. However, due to insufficient water sources later on, the organizers had to switch to using the water sources within the banana plantation. This change may have planted hidden dangers for future events.

The sick children were quickly sent to the local Jopye Yongmara Hospital and other private hospitals for examination. According to the doctor's diagnosis, these children have all been infected with rotavirus. Subsequently, the public health department intervened in the investigation and initially suspected that the water used in the park may have mixed with the water from the sewer, leading to water source pollution and causing a large amount of bacteria to be carried by the water sources used in the water splashing festival activities.

Faced with this unexpected situation, the organizers of the event expressed sincere apologies to all affected people and promised to take effective measures to ensure that such incidents do not occur again. It is revealed that next year's Water Splashing Festival celebration will use methods such as digging wells to obtain water, in order to ensure the cleanliness and safety of the water source.

At present, some infected children still suffer from high fever, burning all over their bodies, and experiencing symptoms such as rash. The medical team is making every effort to treat and ensure the children's early recovery. The Director of the Thai Agency for Disease Control and Prevention, Tong Cai, stated that preliminary test results showed that these children were infected with rotavirus, but the results still need further confirmation from the Ministry of Medical Sciences laboratory and are expected to be released soonThe final test results will be announced on April 22nd.

After learning that all patients had participated in the Water Splashing Festival celebration at the Banana Species Conservation Center, health officials quickly took action and went to the scene to collect food and water samples, which were then sent to the laboratory for testing. Although it is currently uncertain whether the food or drinking water sold at the center has been contaminated, relevant departments have launched a comprehensive investigation to determine the true cause of the incident.
