Today, Monday, the World Health Organization expressed its deep concern regarding the spread of the Marburg virus globally, stressing that the virus is able to kill the infected person within 3 days.
A spokesperson for the organization added, in statements to Al Arabiya, that the chances of surviving from Marburg rise if people follow the means of prevention.
He also added that the most dangerous symptom of Marburg virus is reaching hemorrhagic fever.
It is noteworthy that two deaths were recorded in Ghana with this disease, which raised fears around the world, following the World Health Organization announced its first outbreak there.
The disease is a highly contagious hemorrhagic fever of the same family as Ebola. It is transmitted to humans by fruit bats and is transmitted between people by direct contact with the body fluids of infected people and surfaces.
