A 16-year-old secondary school student from Limassol has been admitted to intensive care at a private hospital after contracting bacterial meningitis, with her condition described as serious.
Health authorities are conducting contact tracing while following Ministry of Health protocols.
Those who have had close contact with the student, including classmates, teachers and family members, have been given preventative medication.
Officials emphasised that all necessary protocols have been followed and there is no cause for alarm.
The school has experienced considerable anxiety following news of the case.
A separate case of bacterial meningitis has been reported in Paphos, involving a six-month-old infant who is currently receiving treatment at Makarios Hospital. The baby’s condition is described as stable.
