There have been no cases of infectious diseases detected in areas flooded as a result of Russian troops blowing up the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant, says the head of the Ministry of Health, Viktor Lyashko. Currently, the situation is stable, but tense, the Minister of Health reported on June 11 on the telethon “Yedini Novyni”. According to him, there are observation posts in the flooded area, which daily take water for research from various sources, in particular, from reservoirs and barrel trucks that bring drinking water. “The water in the centralized water supply network fully complies with sanitary standards and regulations, and is safe for consumption. Drinking water also complies with the standards,” said the head of the Ministry of Health. At the same time, the situation is different in surface reservoirs. “We record significant fecal pollution and if this water gets on the table, which people can drink, or it is used for bathing, it can lead to the emergence of infectious diseases,” Viktor Lyashko emphasizes. He called on citizens not to swim in water bodies and not to eat fish from there in any form. According to the minister, this can lead to outbreaks of epidemics of intestinal infections. “We ask everyone to refrain and not to buy anything at spontaneous markets that may be near these bodies of water. The outbreak itself will not happen if someone does not violate the requirements of sanitary norms and rules,” added Viktor Lyashko. He noted that currently there are no cases of infectious diseases. As a reminder, more than 850 kilograms of aquatic organisms, including fish, died in the village of Maryanske, Dnipropetrovsk region, as a result of the destruction of the dam of the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant and the shallowing of the reservoir.
