Medical stations have been set up in each typhoon victim shelter in Kaohsiung County as part of an effort to prevent outbreaks of influenza A (H1N1) infections and dengue fever, the county's health authorities said Wednesday. Other measures adopted are requiring the shelters to disinfect door handles every hour and sterilize their premises regularly, said Huang Chih-chung, head of the county's health bureau. Nearly 3,000 people displaced by Typhoon Morakot are currently being sheltered at 20 locations in Kaohsiung County. The results of monitoring conducted by the medical stations found that the number of residents infected with flu totaled 36 on Aug. 16, 87 on Aug. 17, and 67 on Aug. 18, Huang said. While none has been diagnosed with the H1N1 flu strain, the stations will continue to monitor the situation to guard against any cluster infections of the new form of flu, he said. Flu patients are being required to wear masks and have their temperature taken regularly to track their condition, he said.
