He said three districts in the state have been hit by flash floods namely Johor Baru, Kluang and Tangkak that resulted in several temporary flood relief centers being opened to accommodate the flood victims. Vidyananthan said the steps include practising social distancing and personal hygiene among flood victims, prioritising the use of the school classrooms as temporary flood relief centres, rather than halls, and isolating each family in different school classes.
“However, through physical examination and risk assessment, including exposure history and travel history, these cases were not categorised as suspected Covid-19 positive,” he said. “Health screening and health education are also being upgraded in all flooding areas to increase public awareness of the risk of infectious diseases after the flood.
