Although I’ve not found an official MOH announcement on their website, multiple Arabic news sources are reporting this morning on Egypt’s 21st H5N1 case of the year, and the death of a previously announced case. Today’s case makes Egypt’s 50th human infection reported since this current outbreak began in mid-November.
Egyptian media reports quoting the MOH have been very reliable in recent weeks, and often appear hours or even days before an official statement is published.
I’ll update this blog with a link to the MOH’s announcement when it is posted.
