The spread of the contagious hand, food and mouth disease (HFMD) appears to be slowing, with the Ministry of Health reporting the rate of new infections has dropped to an average of 10 per day.
The disease, caused by enterovirus-71, had been infecting an average of 100 people per day, mostly children. It led to the closure of elementary schools, public events and some businesses.

A working group currently testing in border areas will return to Ulaanbaatar in mid-June.
Despite the drop in cases, schools remain cancelled and organizing public events where children are to participate remains prohibited, according to a joint decision by the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education, Culture and Science.

As of June 10, the cases of Enterovirus-71 had reached 2,163 – 1,052 are male and 1,111 are females.
Over 188 children are being treated in hospital, while another 841 are treating under the control of a local doctor.

There are 1,075 infections in Ulaanbaatar, 334 in Sukhbaatar, 136 in Tov, 113 in Khentii, 111 in Dornod, 104 in Selenge, 78 in Dornogobi, 42 in Bayankhongor, 36 in Ovorkhangai, 34 in Arkhangai and 22 in Orkhon.

The Gobisumber, Bulgan, Khovsgol, Omnogobi, Zavkhan, Darkhan-Uul, Uvs, Dundgobi and Khovd aimags have all reported under 20 cases.
