The head of the school, however, has sought to tamp down the rumors pending the release of medical reports.

The 28 children, students of the Institución Educativa de Galeras (INEGA) in Galeras, Sucre, Colombia, were hospitalized on February 24, accompanied by school staff and teachers.

INEGA head Hugo Torres said in an official statement posted to Facebook that the children had suffered from "possible cases of anxiety" and "were referred to the local municipal hospital according to protocols in place."

English-language outlets have reported that the children had been hospitalized after fainting. However, Torres referred only to anxiety, not loss of consciousness, in his comments.

It's unclear what the current status of the children is. The school hasn't published a follow-up statement after its initial February 24 Facebook messages.

In a video message in which he read the official statement, Torres said that the students' parents had been apprised of the matter at the time.

News reports also indicated the school was holding off on releasing information regarding the children's condition until medical reports are completed.
