“I think the only thing to remember is that with homes being damaged, people living in evacuation centres and living with extended families within the risk this disease spreading quickly is very high. That is why we are working very hard about protecting the health of our communities.”
He says they’re mobilizing resources to avoid any outbreak of eye-related diseases after TC Yasa.
