Since the beginning of November, hand-foot-mouth disease has struck 7out of 8 communes in Khanh Son district in central coastal Khanh Hoa province, resulting in a sharp increase in infection cases.
Nine hand-foot-mouth outbreaks were reported in Khanh Son district, affecting 176 children – double the figure detected in the same period last year.
It’s worth noting that quarantine measures have not been taken immediately to stop the spread of the disease.
Ngo Thi Truc Linh, headmaster of a kindergarten in Khanh Son district, stressed the need to raise public awareness of the contagious disease and provide timely treatment to the infected children.
Parents should send their children to nearby hospital for medical check up if their children show symptoms of hand-foot-mouth disease, such as fever, sore throat, and skin rash, she suggested.
Le Huu Tho, an official from the Khanh Son district health centre responsible for preventive medicine said local health workers are cooperating with schools to further disseminate relevant information and implement sterilization measures, especially in high-risk areas.
