The Ministry of Health of Ukraine warns about the possibility of deterioration of water quality in wells and open water bodies in the territories flooded as a result of the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station.

“There could be many substances dangerous to health at the bottom of the Kakhovskaya HPP.

Specialists are already working on the ground and taking water samples from reservoirs and wells.

To reduce the risk of infectious diseases, the Ministry of Health recommends following the following rules:

  • drink only bottled or imported water
  • take water for cooking and household needs only from proven sources
  • boil or otherwise disinfect water taken for drinking, washing fruits, berries or dishes
  • refuse products that have been submerged in water (even from preservation)
  • wash your hands thoroughly with soap
  • do not use clothes that were contaminated during flooding without washing and disinfection.

The Ministry of Health also warns that in the next 3-5 days in the Kherson region and some areas of Zaporizhzhia due to a rapid drop in the water level, there will be a plague of fish – the consumption of such fish is strictly prohibited, as there is a risk of botulism.
