Extract from MOH's public advice below .....

"The Ministry would like to stress the importance of maintaining high standards of personal and environmental hygiene to minimise the risk of HFMD. Parents should ensure that their children adopt the following good hygiene practices:

• Frequently wash hands with soap e.g. before eating and after going to the toilet;
• Cover mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing, and throw the tissue away into a bin immediately;
• Do not share food/drinks, eating utensils, toothbrushes or towels with others.

Parents should also ensure that articles such as toys or appliances that are contaminated by nasal or oral secretions are cleaned and disinfected before they are used again."
