"Xinhua said late Wednesday that the number of reported cases of hand, foot and mouth has jumped to 19,962, A day earlier, the number of infections was 15,799, cropping up in areas ranging from Guangdong province in the south to Jilin province in the northeast and Anhui province in the country's heartland."
"Health experts have said they expect the number of cases to rise as a result of an order issued this week by the Ministry of Health requiring health care providers to report infections within 24 hours."
"Hand, foot and mouth disease spreads through contact with saliva, feces, fluid secreted from blisters or mucus from the nose and throat. There is no vaccine or specific treatment, but most children affected by the disease typically recover quickly without problems."
