‘Mind risk of disease when in floodwater’


Dr Aman advises flood victims to ensure that they have clean water for their daily use.

RESIDENTS in flood-prone areas should be extra cautious when coming into contact with flood- water and also ensure that children do not play in it, says Johor Health director Datuk Dr Aman Rabu

This is because floodwater is a potential source of water-borne diseases such as leptospirosis, melioidosis, cholera and typhoid, as well as bacteria that cause food poisoning.
