HYGIENE checks will be carried out at all 800 childcare centres in Singapore to stem cases of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). The viral infection is now on the rise because of a seasonal peak. HFMD can affect both adults and children, causing fever, rashes on hands and feet and painful ulcers in the mouth. Childcare centres are hotspots for the infection which is spread by direct contact with an infected person.
