Books – Ahmed Gomaa:
An official source at the Ministry of Health and Population commented, on Wednesday, on the World Health Organization’s warning of a “major biological threat” threatening Sudan, which is witnessing an ongoing conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, after one of the conflicting parties took control of a laboratory containing samples that cause measles, cholera and polio. .
The source said, in statements to Masrawy, that a circular was circulated at the republic level to monitor the situation, especially those coming from Sudan. To counter the spread of any infectious diseases.
He pointed out that all hospitals were required to immediately report any suspected case of an infectious disease for those coming from Sudan on a daily basis.
Despite this, the responsible source downplayed the risk of any infection spreading to Egypt as a result of controlling the laboratory, saying: “This laboratory has modest capabilities and does not represent a danger to us, as some fear, but in all cases there is continuous monitoring of the epidemiological situation.”
The battles killed 459 people and wounded 4,072, explaining that this outcome was derived from the Sudanese Ministry of Health, and the UN organization was unable to verify it.
