Egyptian Media: MOH Reports Another H5N1 Case

 

 

# 4333

 

 

If it seems like we already did this story today, that feeling is understandable. On Friday we learned of the 95th and 96th Egyptian infection, and just this morning we got the WHO update on them.

 

Now victim #97 has been announced, and based on the onset date given of January 31st, that makes the 7th case for the month of January.

 

A hat tip to Commonground who posted this find on FluTrackers.
