Two primary schools on the island, including Potters Primary and another in St. George parish, are dealing with a suspected outbreak of a rare and contagious skin rash.
Potters Primary has alerted parents, reporting that some students have arrived with unusual rashes and open sores.
The school has urged parents to seek medical attention for affected children and to keep them home until cleared by a doctor.
Approximately eight students at Potters Primary have presented with the rash, though its exact nature remains unidentified.
Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

What type of rash is it?
Why not just say what the rash is?
How many cases did they find?
Has the school gotten confirmation that the rash is contagious?
Yes, the clinic nurses along with PAHO confirmed.
The pipe water is responsible for this. I’ve seen this in my area with many people.

Is this contagious?
and he will save us to the point that he will even save you from your dumb thoughts. If you’d read your bible you’d see who God saved from leprosy, the dead he call forth. You’re like David in the lions den. You’re like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace just that you’re without the faith. But he will still save you from your thoughts.
How soon can we find a cure
IT’S THE ANTIGUA STUPIDITY RASH, AND IT WILL SPREAD AND IS ONLY AFFECTING ANTIGUA BECAUSE OF ALL THE STUPIDITY OF ANTIGUAN PEOPLE
Daniel baby not David in the lion’s den read your Bible a little more
My daughter had something similar a day she came from school. I observed it while bathing her, it was on her elbow. She goes to Gray’s Crescent Primary . It looked like a ringworm, but she said it didn’t hurt or itch. I took her to the doctor, he did her blood works, all was well. He also prescribed cortisone and gave her antibiotics and it was gone in 2 days. I’m thinking germs on her desk from not being cleaned regularly or properly, while writing or pressing.
After you hear it’s spreading like wild fire you still gonna ask if it’s contagious…kids rubble and play in anything so that’s why it’s in primary schools
Ring worm?
All the schools that have this out brake should be close down right away come on me mathew
Mercy! If this continue to spread look out, another round of vaccine for us .
Mind more vaccines soon ……..wow !
The thing is that these parents see their children with these rashes and long green cold runny nose and still send them to school and some of the teachers accept them and then the entire class then the entire school takes over with whatever virus or disease or rash. Then it spreads to the homes of the chidren then the communities then the nation then the world.
All this beacuse the dumb ass parents did not follow protocol. Jail dem backside.
