Underling that many students were discharged from the hospital in one or two hours, the hospital worker said, “Many students are still kept in hospital because their health condition is very serious. Some are kept in the intensive care unit while one of them was transferred to a hospital in Urmia when her condition deteriorated.”

 Speaking about a 16-year-old student, she said, “A student named Nyan Karimi had an epileptic attack a few hours after she was discharged from the hospital due to poisoning. She was returned to the hospital and is now kept in the intensive care unit due to her critical condition.”

They have difficulties in breathing

 A nurse working at a health clinic in the city of Bukan said, “Many of the students were not transferred to the hospital immediately because they did not suffer from severe symptoms. But after a few hours, some of them were taken to health clinics after suffering from symptoms. We transferred them to a hospital’s emergency department.”

She pointed out that schoolgirls later suffered from symptoms including nausea, fainting, headaches, coughing, breathing difficulties and heart palpitations. Most of the students, who were poisoned at schools, have difficulties in breathing."
