AUSTIN, Texas - The state is watching for health issues in areas ravaged by Harvey floodwaters - everything from mosquitos to bacterial infections.

Governor Greg Abbott said local spraying for mosquitoes is already underway and state aerial spraying should start later this week.

Health officials urge anyone involved in any sort of cleanup efforts involving floodwaters to be safe. Make sure you're up to date on your tetanus shot and cover any cuts with bandages to stop bacterial infections.

Even with cleanup underway in much of the state, counties like Wharton, Brazoria, Jefferson, Orange and Newton are still experiencing major flooding,  which should subside later this week.

The governor says he has no doubt the federal government will help Texas with recovery efforts, even by sticking funding bills to other issues like the debt ceiling.

"I feel confident that Texas is going to get the resources they need from the federal government. Because of the timing of where we are in the budget cycle, it is appropriate for them to use the funding strategies they are using here in the month of September," said Abbott.

As post-Harvey cleanup continues, most of the state's hospitals are back open. A handful remains closed in parts of Houston, Victoria and Corpus Christi.

At least 60 deaths have been blamed on the storm.
