#1

He said treatment would usually be antibiotics with penicillin, with light early symptoms including running a temperature, sore throat and rashes, but it could quickly deteriorate to sore and swelling limbs.

Blisters and purplish, white, or dark spots could appear if the condition continued to worsen and the patient would be constantly tired, Tsang added.

Tsang backed Lam's advice on personal hygiene, mask use in crowded places and the need to wash hands often.

He added people with cuts and wounds should tend to them properly, avoid seawater and public baths, and seek medical help if they spotted any abnormalities.
