How to prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease in the workplace?

Answer

The key to preventing hand, foot, and mouth disease in the workplace is to maintain environmental and personal hygiene. Wash hands with soap or hand sanitizer after going out or using the bathroom, avoid drinking unboiled water and eating unclean food. Keep indoor ventilation and regularly air out bedding. During outbreaks, avoid taking children to crowded public places with poor air circulation and keep a distance from sick children. Following these suggestions can help reduce the risk of infection with hand, foot, and mouth disease. If a child is already infected, it is recommended to bring them to a specialist clinic for a follow-up examination as soon as possible and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
