Prevention of the Infectious Disease Dissemination in Temporal Accommodation Sites during the Large-Scale Flood in the Amur Region

Abstract

Abnormal rainfall flooding in the Amur Region formed premises for aggravation of epidemiological situation on acute enteric infections. Despite the organized strict control over compliance with applicable sanitary-epidemiological regulations at the temporal accommodation sites, a cluste of enterovirus infection occurred in one of them. On-time performed anti-epidemic measures made it possible to avoid distribution of the infection among the evacuated population and its dissemination outside the territory of that temporal accommodation site. Displayed are the data on operational experience of the Rospotrebnadzor institutions in the Amur Region in managing prophylactic and anti-epidemic activities aimed at the prevention of occurrence and distribution of the infectious diseases among the population evacuated from areas exposed to flood and placed in temporal accommodation sites.
