The Perak health committee chairman said in the first week of May, 143 cases involved children below six and another involved a child between the age of seven and 12."The five locations are at pre-schools, day care centres and kindergartens, while two outbreaks occurred at a child care centre," he said in a statement on Friday .Mohd Akmal said the virus is spread through contact with saliva, blister discharge and faeces from an infected individual.

Mohd Akmal said the people have been advised to ensure that their children are free from HFMD before sending them to schools or care centres to prevent the disease from spreading."Parents are also advised not to bring their children with symptoms to public places, including swimming pools, market, shopping complexes, bus stations and other locations," he added.
