Zhuozhou city in North China's Hebei province has carried out extensive disinfection since the weekend after it was seriously flooded by heavy rainfall and overflow from nearby rivers.

A red cross rescue team from Huaibei city in Anhui province came to a local school in Zhuozhou on Monday to disinfect the campus and classrooms.

Dressed in protective clothing, a team of 15 members sprayed disinfectant thoroughly over 9,200 square meters at the school in an effort to inhibit the growth of bacteria and viruses after the flooding.

Apart from the school, the team has also gone to residential communities and has disinfected more than 80,000 square meters of area, according to Wang Tao, a member of the team from Anhui.

After the disinfection, they will start another task of delivering necessities to the local residents who had suffered great lost from the flood disaster.
