St. Theresa’s Eregi Girls High School has been shut down following the outbreak of an unknown disease in the school based in Kakamega County.

In a statement, the administration noted that the decision was taken after school administration and county government officials held a meeting at the institution.

As per the statement, Form one, two, and three students will break for one week as investigations into the disease continue.
