No Epidemic Outbreak Reported in Flooded Areas

China's Health Ministry said on Friday that it has received no reports of epidemic outbreaks from flooded areas on the Chinese mainland so far.

The ministry said it has conducted thorough analyses of epidemic outbreaks nationwide this year, and disease prevention measures have been put in place.

During this year's flood season, floods, mountain torrents and landslide hit several provinces and autonomous regions including Hunan, Yunnan, Henan and Guangxi.

The Health Ministry said daily epidemic monitoring reports are received from the disease prevention and control centers (CDC) at the provincial level and the CDCs in the flood areas have enhanced monitoring to epidemic diseases and emergent public health events.

Meanwhile, the ministry said it has established two medical teams consisting of experts from Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong, Shanghai and Guangdong.

The medical teams, equipment and medicine are all ready and will be dispatched to the flood affected areas immediately when needed, the ministry said.
