The Ministry of Health has launched an official investigation into a suspected Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) outbreak in Region Four following reports of several students developing symptoms associated with the disease.
More than a week ago, HGPTV Nightly News reported that students from a private school on the East Coast of Demerara had shown rash-like symptoms on their hands, feet, and mouths, raising concerns about potential spread.
