Four schools in Hidalgo County are reporting cases of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease.

It's a virus that's common in children and spreads easily through touch. So far, health officials say there are 60 confirmed cases.

"Hand, Foot, Mouth Disease is a contagious viral infection that typically affects children, mostly younger children under the age of five," DHR Health Family Medicine Residency Program Director Dr. Naomi D'Acolatse said.

Doctors say the disease is commonly spread at schools and daycares.

"There have not been a publicized list of the schools due to privacy reasons, but they are considering this an outbreak and are monitoring closely," D'Acolatse said.
