HONG KONG, March 12 (Chinese media) -- The Center for Health Protection (CHP) of the Hong Kong's Department of Health Thursday called on people to maintain strict personal and environmental hygiene to prevent Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) following an outbreak of the disease involving 20 students.
The affected children of the kindergarten in Tai Po, Hong Kong, aged between 2 and 5 years, came from four different classes. They developed fever, oral ulcers and rash over hands or feet starting from Feb. 22.
The children sought medical consultation and no hospitalization was required. All children are in stable condition.
A CHP spokesman said CHP staff had paid site visits to the school and provided health advice to the management.
