to summarise the above article,
1. there are about 5420 cases of HFMD in singapore from Jan 05 to end of Apr 05
2. the stats for jan 04 to apr 04 is about 2435
3. schools that got HFMD cases include Unity Pri and lately, a school in Punggol area.
question is, how come such news are not reported in our local papers? there is seriously something wrong here.
parents of young kids better take note and check your kids when they come back from school. do not wait for a repeat of the past HFMD tragedies.
