DAR ES SALAAM, March 9 (Xinhua) - Tanzanian health authorities said on Wednesday the government is on high alert over the reported outbreak of yellow fever in neighboring Kenya. Ummy Mwalimu, the Minister for Health, said the ministry has reinforced checks against the deadly virus on the country's borders and other entry points, including ports and airports. [...]
Mwalimu said on March 3, the WHO informed the government of Tanzania on the outbreak of yellow fever in the pastoralist and remote county of Isiolo in Kenya, about 270 kilometers north of the capital Nairobi.
For her part, the WHO country representative underscored the need to intensify surveillance, saying diagnosis alone was not enough as the symptoms of yellow fever resembled other diseases like dengue and malaria.
