WHO condemns Tanzania without providing suspicious Ebola information

The World Health Organization (WHO) released a statement accusing the government of Tanzania on the 21st that it did not provide information on women suspected of having Ebola hemorrhagic fever in Tanzania, eastern Africa. The country's government has so far explained that no one has been infected.

According to WHO statements, a woman in her 30s developed high fever in the economic city of Dar es Salaam in eastern Tanzania after traveling to neighboring Uganda and died around September 8. He then claims to have received information from an informal source that the woman had been infected with Ebola.

There are other information that there were two patients suspected of being infected, but detailed information was not provided to WHO.

Tanzania is a tourist country that attracts many tourists aiming for wild animals such as lions and elephants throughout the year. Dar es Salaam, where a woman died, has a population of over 4 million and prosperes as the country's largest city. If the infection is confirmed, it may be affected by a decline in tourism revenue.
