My Response

I think it is important for children to stay away from crowded places if they have signs of infection.It is because if they have the hand, foot and mouth disease, they will spread as it is contagious. Hand, foot and mouth disease spreads very fast. It is essential to follow the good hygiene practices because it can keep hand, foot and mouth disease away from us. 'Good hygiene practices' means to keep yourself clean and keep germs away from us. For example, washing your hands before eating. I hope that the hand, foot and mouth disease can stay away from earth so that we can be save.
