Egypt affirms lower Ebola risk
Egyptian health authorities have affirmed that the risk of Ebola to their citizens is low and that the country remains completely free of the disease. The ministry urged postponing travel to affected countries or adhering to preventive guidelines when necessary, following the World Health Organization's declaration of a global emergency due to the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. It was also announced that Egypt has heightened readiness at border crossings and implemented safety measures for travelers, confirming that the disease is transmitted only through direct contact with bodily fluids, poses no airborne risk, and that patients are not infectious before symptoms appear. Additionally, Al-Ahly Club announced that it has decided not to travel to Congo to participate in the handball championship, out of concern over the potential spread of the disease.
