    Egypt has not recorded any human cases of bird flu during the year 2018, even today, according to special statements for "home" from Dr. Wajdi Amin, Director of the General Department of Chest Diseases of the Ministry of Health and Population, which confirmed that the cases of suspicion does not mean the presence of infections,

    Similar symptoms are to be taken for precautionary measures and detection of these cases, even reassuring that it is not infected with the "virus", to receive the necessary care to be similar to healing.
    In 2017, the Ministry of Health recorded only three confirmed cases of "avian influenza," according to Amin, who confirmed that the reduction in the number of cases does not mean stopping all-year surveillance of any new human cases. The director of "Chest Diseases", that the ministry will expand the circle of suspicion of infection with the "new flu" with the beginning of the drop in temperature starting in November, in anticipation of any injuries.
