Does hand, foot, and mouth disease have an incubation period after recovery?

Patient's question:

In the kindergarten, there are children who have hand, foot, and mouth disease, and they have been sick for about 15 days so far. Now they are back at kindergarten! Is there still an incubation period after recovery?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is still contagious for two weeks after recovering from hand, foot, and mouth disease, so it is important to take care. The feces need to be disinfected, and the items the child has touched should also be thoroughly disinfected with fluoride-containing disinfectant. Additionally, isolation and treatment for one week of observation are required.
