At the turn of spring and into summer, respiratory diseases, Hand-Foot and Mouth Disease and other diseases can often occur. To avoid epidemics, everyone should carry out preventive measures.
Hand-foot and mouth disease occurs most frequently in children under 4 years old, usually during the summer months, however older children and adults can also be affected. The disease is caused by the Coxsackie Virus infection, it is highly contagious and the transmission is through contact with an affected person. There is a short four- to six-day incubation period between exposure and development of initial symptoms (fever and malaise). A person is most contagious during the first week of illness.
The main symptoms are fever, mouth pain, loss of appetite, and rashes and ulcers especially in the mouth，on the hands and feet and around the anus. Hand, foot and mouth disease lasts for approximately one week. In a small number of patients, the virus can cause myocarditis, encephalitis, meningitis and other serious complications with a small number of patients incurring life-threatening problems. Therefore, we would like everybody to pay more attention to this issue.
To avoid Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease and other respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases, our school will ensure the following:
1. All rooms will be ventilated at least 2-3 times per day, and for more than half an hour each time.
2. All the classrooms, teaching materials, toys, tableware and other supplies will be disinfected (using 1:160’s 84 disinfectant to scrub and soak). Clothing and other cloth items will be disinfected using Dettol.
3. Personal hygiene of all teachers and students will be boosted with hands being washed frequently, especially before meals and after toilet.
4. All students will be checked every morning and afternoon using the following procedure.
Ø Teachers will ask parents/caretakers if there have been any abnormal situations to report from home.
Ø All children will be checked for fever, (any children with high temperatures will be sent home. Any children who have had a high temperature in the previous 48 hours should not be brought to school.)
Ø Teachers will look for any skin abnormalities or unusual behaviour.
5. Parents will be contacted immediately if there are any abnormalities. In such cases children will be isolated from their classmates and parents should arrange for immediate pick-up where sick children should be taken to the hospital for examination.
6. All staff have been informed about our procedures for observing children.
For the children's health, we recommend our parents take note of the following points:
1. Rooms must be ventilated for a long period of time every day.
2. Outdoor activities should be arranged everyday, only with the exception of very inclement weather,
3.Rooms should be humidified appropriately.
4. Drink lots of water, and adjust clothing appropriately.
5. Wash hands frequently.
6. Home furniture, flooring, toys, etc. can be disinfected regularly using "84 disinfectant" or "DETTOL"..
7. Try to avoid going to areas where there is a high density of people.
8. Isolate children with sick parents/caretakers or siblings.
9. If children have fever, cough, runny nose, rash, and other symptoms, please go to the hospital immediately and rest at home until a full recovery has been made.
10. Sick children should drink plenty of water, have enough rest, and avoid boisterous activities.
Wishing a healthy spring & summer to all!

做好日常工作，预防春夏季多发疾病
目前正值春夏之交，呼吸道疾病、“手足口病”等疾病时有发生。我们要做好预防工作。
手足口病好发于4岁以下儿童，夏季多见，也可见于年长儿和成人。为柯萨奇病毒感染性疾病。经呼吸道，手口途径传染。以发热或不发热，口痛、厌食，手足皮疹、口腔黏膜溃疡、肛周皮疹为主要症状。多一周痊愈。少数病人可发生心肌炎、脑炎、脑膜炎等比较严重的并发症。极少数病人会危及生命。故提醒大家加以注意.
为避免本病及其他呼吸道、消化道疾病的发生，请大家做好以下工作：
1、做好园区、教室的通风工作。每天至少2-3次，每次半小时以上。
2、做好园区、教室、教具、玩具、餐具等用品的消毒工作（1：160倍84消毒液擦洗、浸泡）。衣物等布类用品可用滴露消毒。（按说明书）
3、注意教师、学生的个人卫生，多洗手。尤其是饭前便后。
4、做好“三检”工作：晨、午、晚检查。做到：一问（在家里的情况），二摸（筛查小儿有否发热），三看（精神、皮肤等），四查（重点检查）。
5、出现异常及时与家长联系，及时接孩子回家并建议去医院检查。加强隔离。
6、提高工作人员的警惕性。
7、有异常情况及时通报学校领导。
为了孩子们的健康，建议家长在家中尽量注意以下几点：
1、每日较长时间的房间通风。
2、除非常恶劣天气外，每天坚持室外活动。
3、调节房间湿度，适当加湿。
4、多饮水，及时加减衣物。
