Flood, the emergency is also health

There is also a risk for “gastrointestinal infections” because “when the flood impacts on the sewage system and wastewater, there is a greater risk of contracting infections affecting the gastrointestinal system which manifest themselves with vomiting and/or diarrhea”. For this reason, the Ausl reminds “not to touch the eyes, nose and mouth with hands dirty with mud and whenever possible wash with soap and water”.
