THE Department of Health (DOH) on Monday, August 10, 2026,
warned those in evacuation centers over the threat of
Influenza-Like Illnesses (ILIs).
In a social media post, the DOH said ILIs can easily spread in
highly populated areas, such as evacuation centers.
"Due to continuous rain and cold weather, flu-like illnesses are
likely to spread more rapidly," said the DOH.

COMMENT: I really didn't know which thread to place this in as
it is more of a warning to help prevent outbreaks. I think its a
good call that the department of health made here ... many other
cultures should follow suit and give the same warning as there
are many similar gatherings and situations when people are in
close quarters that could cause outbreaks.
