London-Sana
British authorities have warned of the transmission of polio virus in a number of neighborhoods in the British capital, London.
Reuters quoted the British Health Security Agency as saying today, “116 polioviruses were detected from 19 wastewater samples this year in London. From the neighborhoods of London.
Last June, the agency raised the alert to confront polio, following the spread of the virus in London for the first time since the eighties of the last century.
British authorities plan to launch a booster polio vaccination campaign for children under the age of 10 in London and are also working to expand polio surveillance to other sites outside London to see if the virus has spread further.
