Kelantan firemen to put on PPE when dealing with Covid-19 flood victims, says its director

KOTA BARU, Oct 14 — The Kelantan Fire and Rescue Department will be using special boats and personal protection equipment for the rescue operations of flood victims who are confirmed Covid-19 patients.

“At the moment, we are upgrading our workflow to deal with the Kelantan monsoon season which is expected to occur in November and our preparation is different for this monsoon season because we will be saving lives and at the same time deal with Covid-19 pandemic. Elaborating further, he said JBPM also held discussions with the agencies involved in dealing with the floods like separating flood victims who are also Covid-19 positive from other victims to curb the spread of the pandemic.

“With the interstate travel now relaxed, it will have an effect on us to carry out our rescue mission because Kelantan is expected to see an influx of people coming to the state.
