With the Football World Cup beginning in Canada, Mexico and the United States, I have issued a statement to reassure fans that the Ebola risk remains low.
There are no Ebola cases in the host countries or in the European Region, and there is no reason to change travel plans.
Enjoy the tournament, stay informed, and seek medical care if you feel unwell after recent travel to affected areas in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or Uganda.
We must also reject stigma. The spread of Ebola is not determined by nationality or ethnicity. Stigma can stop people from seeking care and make outbreaks harder to control.

Highlights from Disease Outbreak News on #hantavirus linked to MV Hondius:
▪️ As of 8 May, a total of 8 cases, including 3 deaths, have been reported. 6 cases are confirmed as Andes virus. 4 patients are currently hospitalized. One case previously reported as suspected has now been reclassified as a non-case after testing negative for Andes (ANDV) virus through specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and serology.
▪️ Epidemiological investigations are underway to determine the source of exposure, including on the travel history and potential exposures of the first case.
▪️One expert from WHO, one from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (@ECDC_EU) are on board the cruise ship to provide support to the passengers, crews and ship operators during the journey.
▪️ WHO has developed and shared technical guidance documents in support of countries affected by the event, including covering management of the event on the ship, investigation of cases, disembarkation and management of returning passengers and crew members.
▪️ An adult male, who disembarked in Tristan da Cunha on 14 April, is currently stable and in isolation. He is currently a probable case until laboratory confirmation.
▪️ Passengers who travelled on the same flight from St Helena to South Africa along with one of the confirmed cases have been contacted.
👉🏽To date, 75 contacts have been identified in South Africa, of whom 42 have been traced by national authorities and are currently under monitoring.
Here is what WHO advises:
▪️ Countries involved in this event continue public health coordination and management efforts on board conveyances and in countries where cases and/or contacts are present or will be returning to. Early recognition of suspected cases, prompt isolation, and consistent adherence to recommended infection prevention and control measures remain essential to protect healthcare personnel, other passengers and crew members. Current evidence does not support usefulness of routine laboratory testing or quarantine of asymptomatic contacts.

Сложно представить, чтобы творилось на дорогах если бы в Бишкеке частота дождей была как в Сеуле, Санкт-Петербурге и в других схожих городах по уровню осадков.
Preparedness saves lives.
Practice makes systems stronger.
That’s why simulation exercises are a critical tool in implementing the International Health Regulations (IHR 2005).

Portland traded Damian Lillard for Jrue Holiday, Toumani Camara, assets in 2023 – then Holiday to Boston for Robert Williams III, Malcolm Brogdon, assets (one led to Deni Avdija).
Now, Blazers have Lillard and Holiday, plus Avdija, Williams, Camara, a 2029 first, two MIL swaps.
I am gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today. This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge – and a direct threat to international peace and security.
There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control – with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region, and the world.
I call on Member States to de-escalate and to uphold their obligations under the @UN Charter and other rules of international law.
At this perilous hour, it is critical to avoid a spiral of chaos.
There is no military solution.
The only path forward is diplomacy.
The only hope is peace.
Учитывая скорость, с которой открываются обменные пункты валюты на Моссовете, я скоро буду за хлебом к ним ходить. Неужели это какой-то успешный успех???
