JOHOR BARU: More people in Johor have suffered from conjunctivitis, upper respiratory tract illness and asthma since haze shrouded the country late last month, says state exco Ling Tian Soon.
“This has led to more people facing health complications such as conjunctivitis, which recorded 45 cases in the past week or epidemiology week 40.” “A total of 82 asthma cases have been reported to the Health Department in ME40 compared with 52 cases in the week before,” he said in a press conference yesterday to give updates about the current health situation.“Those affected include children, especially in asthma cases. However, the patients mostly required outpatient treatment with no hospitalisation needed,” he said.
Air quality is deemed unhealthy if the API reading is between 101 and 200, and very unhealthy if it is between 201 and 300.Ling said the Environment Department had forecast the air quality to worsen in those two areas but he hoped that the health situation would not deteriorate further.
