KUALA KRAI – Three flood relief centres in the Kuala Krai district have been equipped with a special room each to accommodate victims who test positive for Covid-19.
Kuala Krai Fire and Rescue Station assistant fire superintendent Muhammad Rizwan Ar-Rafee Parsimin said the centres are at SK Sultan Yahya Petra 1, SK Manek Urai Baru, and SK Dabong.
“Although there is yet to be a Covid-19 patient among the flood victims, we need to be prepared to face any eventuality,” he told reporters after observing the flood situation in Kg Manek Urai Lama here today.
Rizwan said the involved centres are monitored by the Health Ministry through the Kuala Krai Health District Office.
All flood victims will be screened before they are allowed to enter the relief centres, he added.
In another development, Rizwan said more than 20 villages in Kuala Krai had been hit by floods following continuous rain since the past few days.
They include Kg Manek Urai, Kg Mesek, Kg Gajah, and Kg Bedal, he said, adding that 22 centres have been opened to accommodate more than 900 victims as of 9am today. – Bernama, December 19, 2021
