    There are some cases of Hand, Foot and Mouth disease in the region, this is what to watch for and what to do

    Hand, Foot and Mouth

    Disease (HFM)

    (Enteroviral infection)

    This is generally a mild illness, caused by a type of virus known as enterovirus. The child develops a feverand rash with blisters, which appear especially in the mouth and on the hands and feet. It is spread by direct contact with the secretions of the infected person and by coughing and sneezing. It is also found in the feces of infected people and therefore can be spread by the fecal-oral (feces to mouth) route. Some infected children can continue to shed the virus in their feces for several weeks after recovery. Some people who are infected may not develop any symptoms but can still spread the virus. The person becomes infectious before their symptoms appear. Younger children are more susceptible to infection due to close contact.

    Precautions: Frequent hand washing especially aftercontact with secretions from the nose or throat and afterusing the toilet reduces the risk of transmission.

    Exclusion: While a pupil is unwell he/she should be keptaway from school.
