Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease:

Are Daycares Required to Report It?

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) is a common viral infection that primarily affects young children, particularly those in daycare or preschool settings.

The disease is characterized by the development of sores or blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth, as well as fever and general malaise.

While HFMD is typically a mild and self-limiting illness, it is important for daycare providers to understand the reporting requirements and best practices for managing outbreaks.

In most states, daycares are required to report suspected or confirmed cases of HFMD to the local health department. - https://kidshealthexperts.com/blog/hand-foot-mouth-disease-daycare-reporting/?unique_id_jwyteg8r
