According to the epidemiologist, the possibility of the child’s infection in the family did not appear. The findings so far indicate that the disease could have occurred in one of the holiday destinations in Spain, where there are no net monkeys in R. The family recently spent a vacation in several places in Spain, the hygienists said.
A sample taken from the horse showed only a slight positivity. Blood samples and nasopharyngeal swabs were taken from the child and his family members for detailed laboratory diagnosis. The results of the test are negative on the blood test, and the blood is being analyzed.
As a precautionary measure, not only did the HSHMP initiate an epidemiological investigation, but it also set up adequate anti-epidemic measures for specific individuals even on the day of the maternity round, the hygienists said.
The mother of the bike is provided with external supervision and regular monitoring of the state of health. The nursing team in the maternity circle is separated from the other teams, due to food and the organization of activities, they run exclusively separately, the hygiene station shared. Disinfection of the premises, consistent hand hygiene and the removal of the long ass and hands are thus introduced.
The hygienists pointed out that, according to the findings of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), infection can also occur through contact with materials on the surface of which the virus is found, such as clothes, towels or hygiene items.
According to data from the Ministry of Health, there were 66 cases of mosquito bites in R, 52 in Prague and 14 in seven other regions. Five patients were in the Stedo region, those in South Moravia and two in the Steč region. After one fall, the numbers are registered in the Karlovy Vary, Krlovroč, Olomouc and Zlín regions. So far, the youngest person infected in Prague was in the age groups of 15 and 19.
The disease originally occurred in the countries of central and western Africa, and since the spring of this year it has also appeared in Europe and the USA. There are more than 19,400 ppads in 29 countries in Europe.
