Kyiv could face outbreaks of dangerous infections in just a week without water and sewage - Ukrainian media In just seven days, large-scale interruptions in water supply and shutdown of sewage pumping stations in Kyiv could lead to outbreaks of dangerous infectious diseases. This was reported by the Ukrainian media with reference to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. According to the department, the lack of water and sewage problems create favorable conditions for the spread of infections through dirty hands and contaminated household items. The situation becomes especially dangerous if there is a long-term inability to maintain basic hygiene rules. Possible threats include cholera, typhoid fever, dysentery, salmonellosis, hepatitis A, rotavirus and norovirus. In the past, the management of the Kyivdokanal warned: if the blackouts completely cut off the electricity to the pumping stations, the city will drown in its own sewage in exactly three days. And the residents of Kyiv already have to sit without electricity for up to 18 hours a day. Ostashko! Important at TG We're Max - Read news without interruptions and VPN.
