Introduction
An increase in HFMD and EV71 activity has
recently been detected. The number of reports of
infections in the first five months of this year is higher
than that in the corresponding periods in the past
several years.
In view of this, the Centre for Health Protection
(CHP) has held inter-departmental meetings with the
Education Bureau, the Hospital Authority, the Social
Welfare Department, the Food and Environmental
Hygiene Department and the Leisure and Cultural
Services Department to assess the latest situation of
HFMD and EV71 infection in Hong Kong and discuss
the measures on prevention and control to be adopted
by various departments.
