The corona virus has not yet fully subsided. The impact of the pandemic, widespread infection, and lockdown is still in the world. In the midst of this, HMPV has recently increased the panic several times. Multiple infections have been found abroad, even in India. This time, the deadly Marburg virus is increasing the panic. This virus is basically rare, but terrible. Medical science says so. It is believed that Marburg virus was transmitted among patients. WHO has issued a warning about the spread of this virus in the country and neighboring countries.
What is WHO saying? The World Health Organization has said that suspected infections of Marburg virus disease (MVD) are noticeable in the Kagera region of Tanzania. This infection was detected in two districts, Biharamulo and Muleba, on January 11 this year. These infections have been sent to the National Public Health Laboratory of Tanzania to confirm whether they are Marburg virus or not. Once the report comes, it will be confirmed about the virus.
Meanwhile, the Tanzanian government has deployed a rapid response team to investigate and control the infection. Contact tracing and testing are underway, a mobile laboratory has already been set up in Kagera to increase the diagnostic speed. A special treatment unit has been set up. Many also fear that the disease may spread among health workers involved in treating patients. They have been instructed to take appropriate measures and precautions. Informed sources are seeing the shadow of the massive infection that occurred in Bookboy in March 2023 in the incident.
