ABSTRACT
The Ministry of Health & Wellness advises that flood waters can be the source of many infectious diseases, chemical hazards, and injuries and, therefore, urges the public to avoid walking, working, or playing in floodwaters. Exposure to contaminated floodwater can cause wound infections, skin rashes, stomach illnesses, tetanus, and waterborne diseases such as typhoid fever, cholera, leptospirosis, and hepatitis A.
