Working groups went to each flooded household to handle domestic water tanks.

Mr. Nguyen Phu Quoc said that after the flood, the risk of disease outbreaks is very high, so the Commune Health Station prioritizes instructing people on clean water treatment, residential area sanitation and medical surveillance to promptly detect and prevent disease.
