[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon Special City provided emergency disinfection support to Gapyeong County, which was recently damaged by heavy rainfall, to prevent weather-related infectious diseases.

The city deployed one specialized disinfection vehicle and two personnel from Jangan-gu Health Center to 12 locations, including landslide-affected areas in Gapyeong County, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the 23rd.

To prevent the proliferation of infectious disease vectors resulting from heavy rainfall damage, disinfection operations were conducted to prevent weather-related infectious diseases such as water-borne and mosquito-borne infections.

An official from Jangan-gu Health Center said, "Although many sections of the landslide-damaged areas were difficult for vehicle access, we did our utmost to complete disinfection to prevent infectious diseases among residents and maintain hygienic environments," and added, "Going forward, we will continue inter-regional cooperation and make greater efforts to protect the health of Suwon citizens."
