Gov’t Issues Alert To Schools On Possible Health Risks Due To Flooding

The Ministry of Health has warned of possible outbreaks of waterborne diseases and other infections in schools following the recent floods experienced in most parts of the country.
In a statement on Saturday, the Ministry through Public Health and Professional Standards Principal Secretary Mary Muthoni Muriuki directed school managements and health departments to take safety measures to ensure learners are protected.
PS Muthoni said the recent floods that saw the destruction of sanitation infrastructures in most schools could lead to contamination of water bodies near institutions or contamination of water storage facilities through sewages and submerged toilets.
