Public health officials issued an urgent appeal Monday to residents in flood-stricken central Greece to avoid using floodwater for domestic chores due to mounting fears of contamination.

The floods have caused damage over 700 square kilometres in Greece's central farming belt, according to the European Union's satellite and earth observation agency, Copernicus.

"Bottled water must be used for all kinds of tasks: For our personal hygiene, drinking water, to cook, and even for tasks we have to do inside the house," Deputy Health Minister Eirini Agapidaki said.
