According to the People's Committee of Kim Ngan commune, the suspension extension was carried out because many parents did not agree to let Ms. Hue return to work while the case was still under investigation and there was no official conclusion from the authorities.

Previously, the school coordinated with the Commune People's Committee to hold a meeting with all parents of 75 boarding students to discuss the reorganization of the kitchen. At the meeting, many parents requested the authorities to continue suspending Ms. Do Thi Hong Hue until the investigation results were clear, in order to ensure the safety of the students. Immediately after that, the Kim Ngan Commune People's Committee suspended Ms. Hue (for the first time), today, October 22, is the final deadline.

As Thanh Nien reported, on the morning of September 26, 40 students of Kim Thuy Primary Boarding School had to be hospitalized after breakfast due to suspected food poisoning. Test results from the Pasteur Institute in Nha Trang showed that one of the four food samples tested positive for Bacillus cereus bacteria, the agent that causes acute food poisoning.
