Post-Quake China Watches Out For Disease
More than 5,000 health workers have fanned out to disinfect China's earthquake-hit villages, and doctors and nurses are stationed round the clock in refugee camps to try to prevent survivors from falling sick. At the Jiujiang Sports Stadium in Mianyang, housing more than 20,000 survivors, an old man watches his wife grimace after downing a small vial of traditional Chinese medicine. "This is very good, it will stop you from getting sick now that your immune system is weak," muttered a nurse as she waved the couple away.
