SOUTH China’s island province of Hainan has reported no outbreaks of infectious diseases after being struck by Super Typhoon Yagi, the provincial health commission said on Tuesday. No abnormal increase in fever, diarrhea and other cases has been found in typhoon-affected cities and counties, and no public health emergencies such as food poisoning or diseases of unknown cause occurred, said the commission, adding that medical institutions at all levels in the province have restored normal operation. More than half of the tourism, cultural and sports services in Hainan have been recovered, and the rate is expected to exceed 85% before the week-long National Day holiday starting Oct. 1. The island province has been gradually resuming its transportation networks after being struck by Super Typhoon Yagi, local authorities said on Monday. Normal traffic has resumed in both directions on major highways across the island as of 3 p.m. Monday, and taxi, ride-hailing and tourist passenger transport services in the province have all resumed operations, said Liu Peng, deputy head of the provincial transportation department. Haikou Meilan International Airport in the provincial capital resumed operations on Sunday, and about two-thirds of Hainan’s railway capacity has recovered. Hainan is now carrying out investigation and prevention work for post-disaster geological hazards, according to relevant authorities. Yagi, the 11th typhoon of the year, made landfall in Hainan on Friday, before causing damage across the island. The strongest autumn typhoon to land in China since 1949, Yagi has left at least four dead and 95 injured in Hainan. (Xinhua) |
