Children with HFMD, if the symptoms are mild, generally need to be isolated for about two weeks, but if the symptoms of the child are more obvious, it takes about three weeks. When the rash on the whole body is completely scab off, isolation can be lifted. Pay attention to parents to thoroughly disinfect the clothes and appliances that the child has touched, so as not to infect others.
