A young child has died after being diagnosed with Strep A - the eighth to have been killed by the bacterial infection in recent weeks.
The UK Health Security Agency said it was important that"accurate information is shared with the school community" in Hampshire.
Simon Bryant, director of public health at Hampshire County Council, said the authority was"working closely with the school to raise awareness amongst parents and carers of the signs and symptoms of Group A Streptococcal infections"."Most people who come into contact with Group A Streptococcal infections remain well and symptom-free - and therefore there is no reason for children to be kept home if well.
