Eden Lodge school closed, odour probe continues

Eden Lodge Primary School is to remain closed until further notice amid an investigation into a pungent odour that has disrupted classes on at least three days this week, with staff and students reporting burning eyes, nausea and dizziness.

The school will be closed on Friday as investigations continue into the odour detected nearby, the Ministry of Education Transformation said on Thursday.

The announcement follows early dismissals on at least three days this week after staff and students detected a strong odour, which some suspected was caused by a gas leak.
