Hygiene measures have been tightened at two schools attended by a three-year-old boy who died of a brain disease on Monday.
The boy, who suffered from delayed development due to a medical condition, attended Tutor Time International Nursery and Kindergarten in Kowloon Tong and Pak Tin Centre of the Heep Hong Society.
Ada Chan Pui-chun, who is in charge of the centre, said it would step up hygiene measures. Corridors, washrooms and halls where children gathered would be cleaned hourly from today instead of just a few times in the morning.
The director of the kindergarten, Joan Ho, said the school had undergone a huge cleanup on Monday and always adhered to stringent hygiene measures.
Officials from the Centre for Health Protection sent staff to visit the two schools on Monday.
The centre said the boy developed a fever and a rash last Thursday. He was admitted to United Christian Hospital on Sunday, and died of encephalitis on Monday.
