How does HFMD spread and what are some of the preventive measures that the childcare centres and kindergardens have taken to ensure that the disease contain?
Mostly young children are the ones who are affected by HFMD. It spread through bodily fluids, which is why it can be passed quickly among young children who share toys that they may have put into their mouth.
This is some of the precautions taken by kindergardens and childcare centre. Kindergarten and childcare centre are sanitised and thoroughly cleaned before every session to avoid a repeat of last year's incident, when the centre had to shut for 10 days. She added that children have been drilled into a routine of heading straight to the toilet to wash up and clean their hands with a sanitiser before classes and meals and lastly, stepping up the cleaning of classrooms as the number of children coming down with hand.
In your opinion, what implications will the childcare centres face if the HFMD issue escalates further?
I think that most likely childcare centre would extinct! :D
