An infant suspected of having hand, foot, and mouth disease was temporarily isolated in a cardboard box at a nursery in Jonan Ward, Fukuoka City, in July. The city deemed the action inappropriate and issued a verbal warning to the nursery. The nursery explained the isolation was to prevent infection, but the city criticized it as possible abuse. In response, the nursery has pledged to follow the city’s guidelines to ensure safe care in the future. Source: NHK
