Sanitation problem occurs in World Carnival
22/7/2003 18:04
Sanitation problems are found in the on-going Shanghai Pudong World
Carnival, with poor disinfected measures likely to spread disease, the Jiefang
Daily reported today.
Hordes of visitors to the World Carnival often discard
beverage bottles everywhere, which cleaners cannot sweep away promptly, said an
industry analyst.
The tokens used in the carnival had previously been sent
for disinfection every day, but such measure was suspended several days ago,
said a staff member in charge of the ticket sales.
If the token is infected
with virus, diseases are very likely to be spread, the analyst said.
Such
sanitation problems have aroused worries on the possible return of SARS, he
added.
Sanitation measures should be strengthened in large-size entertainment
activities, especially during summer, prevalent for intestine diseases, said Yu
Shunzhang, professor with the public sanitation institute of Fudan University.
Maintaining better sanitation environment is the only way to ensure tourists
in good health, with sanitation preventive measures required to conduct through
to the end, Yu said.
Visitors should wash and disinfect their hands before
and after going to the World Carnival, and maintain good sanitation habits, said
an expert with the Shanghai Disease Prevention and Control
Center.
