The two girls were taken โtoโฃ a hospitalโค in Alcira on the same day, exhibiting concerning โsymptoms after their visits.โข The six-year-old arrived in โคcardiorespiratory arrest and โwas pronounced dead by doctors. The โขfour-year-old presented with lethargy,fever,and nausea and remains in intensive โcare inโฃ seriousโฃ condition.
