ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) reassured on Wednesday that the public health situation in the UAE remains stable, despite reports of an Ebola outbreak abroad.
"The public health situation in the UAE remains stable," MoHAP said in an advisory on its social media.
"While the current Ebola outbreak remains primarily concentrated in parts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda, the World Health Organisation continues to assess the overall global public health risk as low," it added.
MoHAP added that authorities in the UAE are continuing with "precautionary preparedness measures focused on surveillance, early detection, airport readiness, and healthcare preparedness to protect public health".
It also called on the public to obtain information and updates only from official health authorities and verified sources.
