Description

Antibiotics could be given to children at schools affected by Strep A to stop the spread of the bacteria, after a number of children died recent from the infection. The government has urged parents to be on the lookout for symptoms of what is also known as Group A streptococcus to prevent more deaths. On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to Professor Jim McManus, president of the Association of Directors of Public Health, about what Strep A is and how worried parents should be. Plus, we hear from a father whose four-year-old daughter is fighting for her life after contracting the infection.
