Monsoon season is upon us. Not only does it bring the gift of a veritable deluge on the roads but also a host of diseases (some seasonal viruses while others are due to the problems created by lack of proper water sewage facilities and sanitation). It is imperative that we take the utmost care in preventing ourselves and our children from these ills. The first is to make sure that rain water does not accumulate in pools. The government should also ensure that roads are properly drained of water. Let’s stay safe and healthy during the rainy season.
