The authorities need to do something about this. There have been cases where parents did not notice the onset of HFMD and continued to take their children to enrichment classes where it could spread.

At the class, I noticed that aprons were not assigned, which means an apron worn by one child one week could well be worn by another the next.

Nothing had been disinfected. I have since stopped taking my daughter to the centre.
