Should Arab region worry about the hantavirus and Ebola outbreaks?

DUBAI: Governments across the Arab region are on alert for the potential spread of hantavirus and Ebola following recent international cases, although no infections have been recorded in the region to date. Saudi Arabia’s Public Health Authority, known as Weqaya, said it was closely tracking reports of hantavirus infections abroad, while emphasizing that the risk of the virus reaching the Kingdom remained very low. The authority said it was coordinating with international health bodies and monitoring developments as part of ongoing precautionary measures.
