The Mentri Besar said any closures would be on the advice of the Selangor Health Department, especially given the increasing number of cases and infectivity.
"I will meet with the Health Ministry soon because there are things I want to ask more about HFMD. Indeed, the cases are increasing but the situation is under control and it has not reached the level where closures are needed," he said at a press conference here on Wednesday . On Tuesday , Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah had said that Selangor recorded the highest number of HFMD cases at 8,864 which was 28 per cent of the overall cases, followed by Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya totalling 4,421 cases , Sabah 2,650 cases , Perak 2,638 cases and Kelantan 2,493 cases , while other states reported less than 1,500 cases.
