Authorities have advised residents in flooded areas to boil tap water before drinking it, after 72 cases of diarrhoea were reported at a Nonthaburi condominium.
A Department of Disease Control investigation confirmed that all those who fell ill drank tap water without boiling it. Water should be boiled for five minutes. Chlorine is provided free at the DDC.
Otherwise, residents should use bottled water certified by the Food and Drugs Administration, or from filters or purifiers certified by industrial standards, the Department advised.
