Re: Jordan: Media report - MoH has declared a state of emergency due to increase of coronavirus MERS cases in neighboring Saudi Arabia - notice not on MoH site
The true missing point is the Jordanian & Lebanon situation resides on the (at least) 2 millions of Syrian refugees.
What is the health situation among these people?
I think an extraordinary effort to protect these vulnerable population from MERS is absolutely needed.
I do not see any referral on MSMs or health agencies of this particular issue so far.
Re: Jordan: Media report - MoH has declared a state of emergency due to increase of coronavirus MERS cases in neighboring Saudi Arabia - notice not on MoH site
Very valid point Giuseppe. I wonder which NGOs are running the refugee camps? There may be something about what protective/ preventative measures they are taking on their newsboards?
