Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease, and Ringworm

We've had another case of Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease and also a case of Ringworm.

We've had another confirmed case of hand, foot & mouth disease. This time in Harekeke Hub. For symptoms, treatment and prevention please go to this Ministry of Health link.


Also something to watch out for is Ringworm. See the Ministry of Health information sheet below. If your child has a skin irritation please don't ignore it. There are a myriad of skin related/rash things around at the moment, some more serious than others, but all uncomfortable.
