A notice of intensifying the efforts on preventing and controlling the hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) was released by Shandong's Health Bureau on April 12th.
The notice was released in the hope of curbing the number of HFMD cases which has been on rise since the late of February.
Shandong's Health Bureau has asked kindergartens and schools across the province to step up health checks of children. Kindergartens and schools with two HFMD cases and those with one serious or death case occurring in one week are required to close school for ten days.
Disinfection methods are also released to guide kindergartens to conduct preventive disinfection and sterilizing work, in a bid to bring the HFMD cases to the minimum.
