The head of the health ministry’s Centre for Disease Control announced the establishment of a special unit at a hospital in Tehran to deal with any possible cases of Ebola.
Mohammad Mahdi Guya said the entry of the corona virus (responsible for the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) into the country is possible through air, and Ebola virus can also enter the country through air, land and sea borders. “So preparedness to prevent and combat the viruses is essential.” However, it should be said that “border surveillance system in the country is remarkably good,” IRNA reported him as saying.
