What should parents do to prevent getting HFMD while caring for the child

Observing and practicing good personal hygiene at all times is essential for preventing the spread of illness. Wash your hands regularly with soap to remove germs. When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth with a tissue and dispose of it in the bin immediately. Avoid touching your face, including your eyes, nose, and mouth, with unwashed hands after coughing or sneezing. Additionally, avoid sharing food, drinks, or eating utensils to reduce the risk of transmission. Finally, wearing a mask can help protect both yourself and others from germs.
