HCM CITY
— The HCM City Department of Education
and Training has asked schools to take preventive measures and provide
information about dengue fever and hand-foot-mouth prevention to teachers and
parents.
All
schools have been asked to clean classrooms and kill mosquito larvae before
they reopen after the summer holiday.
The
health sector will work with schools to spray chemicals to kill mosquitoes.
Schools
were also asked to provide timely reports of hand-foot-mouth disease to
district-level preventive medicine centres.
Children
infected with hand-foot-mouth disease should be isolated at home or hospitals
to avoid spreading the infection.
The
department has also asked schools to work with the health sector to strengthen
supervision of kitchens at schools and food processing facilities to ensure
food safety and hygiene.
In the
first three weeks of June, the city recorded 328 cases of dengue fever and 427
cases of hand-foot-mouth disease, according to a report released by the
Department of Health.
Two
people in the city have died from dengue fever this year.
