Hi CatTy 007


My neighbour/friends children are free from HFMD childcare. Centre is free from HFMD for past 12yrs.

Some childcare centre do allow siblings without any symptoms to attend school as usual.

It is simply unbelievable that a centre operating for at least 12 years can be free from any cases of HFMD throughout.

Even if a centre may be excellent in controlling the spread, it will not be able to avoid the possibility of a child contacting the disease outside the centre and bringing it to school...

It's indeed 12years unless they lie which I think is unlikely.

WOW!! Not a single case in past 12 YEARS?! That's very impressive!!

chatelaine:

Anyway, I just got the news that the centre is down with HFMD again!

or did you mean 12 days?

[chatelaine]

Have pm you

CatTy 007:

Wow... What is the name of that centre? So lucky..

[chatelaine]

The school students seemed quite a no. to me.


Something special about this school is they are using mattress different from other schools I have seen. Not sure what it is called but the mattress top bottom and end bottom has a stand that lift mattress off the ground. I personally think is good and healthy for the kids.

really or not... either the school little or no children or they did not report.

look at the current HFMD saga, even PCF kindergarten (3hrs only program) order to close 10 days.

how can a centre be free of HFMD for 12 years??? it like telling me the country has no AIDS patients.

[chatelaine]

Most important thing when sourcing around for school is check how they handle their HFMD case.


School that accept students whose siblings has HFMD should never be considered. This is the first important criteria followed by any others that you think is important to you and your child.

[chatelaine]

With HFMD going on, it's best to keep our children away from playground.


If you really want to let them have some fun, always wash their hands immediately after that. Or use some wipes but then still have to wash hands after that.

I doubt those playing centre that you mentioned did a thorough clean or clean their stuff.

With the current situation of HFMD numbers double that of last year, it is actually difficult to find any centres without any cases. Asked around all my friends with kids in kindergartens and CCs, looks like most are not spared.

It seems like HFMD are commonly linked to kindergartens and CCs but how about the big playgrounds - paid ones and unpaid ones like IKEA, enrichment centres etc. They still just as or more prone... and yet they stay largely open during the period. And they are less likely to be more vigilant as compared to the preschools they are not under the watchful eyes of MCYS and MOH.....

still quite unbelieveable, nowadays looking at the trend, getting HFMD is almost like catching a flu. Just like the flu, there is different strain - some serious, some mild.
if they have some way, probably they should share it with MOE or MCYS - which i think are quite helpless abt the situation...

[chatelaine]

Yup! When the principal told me, it’s quite unbelievable.

[chatelaine]

In fact, I know another one which is free from HFMD for 3yrs since operation


I think they really know a way how to teach kids keep clean and away from HFMD
