According to the author of the text, you can get infected with hepatitis and dysentery. Scary information is sent in the messenger WhatsApp. Which city it refers, is not specified. Today, this information was refuted by specialists of the SES and the municipal service. Details in the material

Reports of contaminated water to residents of Balkhash began to arrive yesterday. The letters say that you can not drink water, brush your teeth and even wash your food. Because of the floods, hepatitis A and dysentery have entered the water supply system. This, was allegedly reported in the Sanitary and Epidemiological Station. Balkhash experts denied this information.

Lena Batanaeva is the head of the Balkhash public health protection department: "Hepatitis A is a disease of dirty hands. Well, there may be a contact-household way; we take into account the water factor. However, today, neither dysentery, nor hepatitis A are associated with the water factor is not recorded. This is the error in nutrition. "

According to epidemiologists, the infection could not get into the system. Water for the city, is extracted from wells, rather than from open sources. And floods do not pose a threat to isolated storage. Weekly, laboratory technicians take samples of tap water and every 10 days on the lake to check for infections and contamination. Today, all the results are negative.

Roza Bakisheva, the head of the laboratory of the CSE "Balkhash Su": "This is impossible, since these tanks are sealed, they are found under paramilitary protection, outsiders are not allowed to enter. These tanks are hermetic, so no infection will get there. In the reservoir, water, is constantly disinfected with chlorine gas and the residual chlorine content is monitored hourly. "

Balkhash is not the only city that stirred up these messages. The first in Kazakhstan were the residents of Ekibastuz. Then Astana and other cities. Nowhere is the information confirmed. In the capital, even started a criminal case against the author of false letters. Presumably, the source of the mailing is in Russia.
