Trend of hand, foot and mouth disease before, during, and after China’s COVID control policies in Zhejiang, China
Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) for COVID-19 control can mitigate HFMD. However, after the dynamic zero-COVID policy ended, the HFMD incidence returned to historical levels. Strict NPIs such as traffic restrictions and kindergarten closures cannot be sustained long-term. NPIs such as improving personal hygiene for routine prevention are highly recommended.
