Kazakhstan citizens returning from Africa recommended consulting a doctor
This recommendation is designed to protect Kazakhstan travellers and make it easier for health officials in these countries to dedicate their resources towards controlling the outbreak. Although the risk remains low, travellers could face difficulties accessing health care services from an increasingly burdened health care system. Travellers could also be exposed to the Ebola virus when seeking medical care in a health care setting. Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone continue to report cases of Ebola virus disease (formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever) and related deaths. Additional cases can be expected. The Ministries of Health of Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone are working with the World Health Organization (WHO) and other partners to implement measures to control the outbreak and prevent further spread. The WHO does not recommend that any travel or trade restrictions be applied to Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria or Sierra Leone in relation to this outbreak. Ebola virus disease is a rare and severe viral disease. The virus can infect both humans and non-human primates (monkeys, gorillas, etc.). When infected, people can get very sick, with fever, intense weakness, headache, sore throat and pains, and may bleed from different parts of the body (i.e., haemorrhage).
