DAR ES SALAAM -- The World Health Organization (WHO) on Saturday airlifted 1.4 tonnes of medical commodities and supplies to Tanzania to fight the Marburg virus disease (MVD) outbreak in the northwestern part of the country.

In a statement, Dr. Richard Dawood, an adviser to the African Travel & Tourism Association, said, "For the vast majority of tourist activities, the risk is virtually zero."

“We believe that, as Tanzania successfully controlled the outbreak two years ago, the country will manage to control this disease as well. WHO is providing $3 million to support control efforts and strengthen disease monitoring systems,” Dr Tedros said.

Staff at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been told to halt all communication with the World Health Organization.
