Infectious Diseases Threaten Festivals: Expert Warning
Update: 2025-12-03
Description
New research from Flinders University reveals that infectious disease outbreaks, including influenza, measles, and meningococcal, account for nearly seventy percent of emergencies at large public gatherings. Food-borne illnesses, such as hepatitis A, make up more than twenty percent of these emergencies due to poor food handling practices. The study emphasizes the importance of vaccination, good hygiene, and safe food practices to reduce risks. Recommendations include setting up on-site clinics, ensuring local hospitals can handle increased patient numbers, and having clear communication plans for emergencies. Festival-goers and organizers must take responsibility for staying safe and enforcing strict hygiene protocols.
