The Cheung household was recently felled by the hand-foot-and-mouth disease. Everyone from the adults to the kids had the runs and was feverish.
The hand-foot-and-mouth disease which is present all year round is most infectious and virulent amongst toddlers and kids. It is ranked as one of the most potent and deadly disease in Hong Kong.
At a charity performance a few nights ago, Jacky revealed that his two daughters are both down with said disease. The doting father said that they have been feverish for the past two days and are having the runs.
As both Jacky and his wife, May Lo, have been caring and nursing the girls back to health, the two adults have also fallen prey to the potent virus. The 48-year-old suffered slight vomiting symptoms and added that his wife had it harder with full-blown symptoms.
To prevent the disease from spreading, Jacky's kids have not been attending school since falling ill. He reassured that the family is now "doing well" and lamented that there is nothing they can do except remind their children to be careful.
