ONLY two cases of Covid-19 have been detected among flood evacuees being placed at relief centres in Pontian and Mersing from Saturday until yesterday.
State Health and Unity Committee chairman Ling Tian Soon said 938 flood victims had been screened by the Johor Health Department.
He said those tested positive were then placed in a separate room at the same relief centre under the supervision of the medical and health teams.
“A total of 61 cases of infectious diseases have been detected – 53 cases of acute respiratory infection, two cases of conjunctivitis, and three cases each of skin disease and acute gastroenteritis – among flood victims state-wide,” he said in a Facebook post.
He advised flood victims to be wary of water-borne diseases, maintain hygiene and keep their dwellings and surroundings clean.
Ling said three flood-affected clinics in Kota Tinggi, namely Klinik Desa Semanggar, Klinik Desa Batu 4 and Petri Jaya have resumed operations. – Bernama, January 10, 2024.
