Number of Hand Food Mouth Disease (HFMD) cases rises.

The latest figures showed that..
There has been a 25% jump..
In the number of HFMD cases over the previous week.

There were 1,245 cases in the week ending 19 April.
And 1,000 cases in the week before.
In total, the number of notified HFMD cases since Jan stands at 7,560.

The figures scare me.
Didn't know it increases so much.

Precautions taken.. Yet it still happened.

One of the cases include a teacher.. was detected too.
So not only kids will get infected.
