To add to that, it must be known that it is the very first case of Congo virus reported in the county this year. Medical experts have warned that this virus is very dangerous as it ends up causing bleeding at very early stages.
Not to forget that the symptoms of the Congo virus are quite similar to those of dengue fever, but these are far more likely to turn into life-threatening symptoms.
It has been encouraged by the Health Department to the citizens to take serious precautionary measures to avoid contracting this virus. Some of these include using insect repellents and wearing protective clothing. It has also been advised to avoid livestock or cattle if anyone is in regular contact.
Congo virus, also known as Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever is primarily transmitted to human beings by ticks livestock, and cattle. This can cause severe muscle pain, internal bleeding, and vomiting.
If noticed, the virus has a very high fatality rate and there is no vaccine or specific treatment for this virus available as of now.
