A ‘killer virus’, also known as the Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) broke out around Europe, affecting Iraq and Namibia, also killing 2 reported people in Pakistan. Many experts believe that there is a matter of time because it reaches the UK, where many lives would be at risk.
This virus was created by a type of tick that feeds on small animals, eventually moving onto larger animals (for example, farm animals and livestock) as it grows older. The scientises that are working on finding out more about this virus, have warned that it can kill between 10% and 40% of people infected by it, and it is spready rapidly northward and westward in Europe.
Following the last covid-19 pandemic, it was warned to not kiss your pets if your test was positive. There was no evidence to directly suggest that the virus could be transmitted between you and your pet. But, although there isn’t enough information to exactly tell you to not cuddle with your animal when sick, we should be rather safe than sorry. The virus may also be able to transmit between the animals’ own species.
This will be confirmed later, when this virus will get a chance to be studied, hopefully in the very near future.
The killer virus has been described as the largest current threat to public health. The symptoms include the following: Fever, Headache, Cough, Sore throat, Difficulty breathing, and vomiting.
Currently, this is a live ongoing crisis that you may need to continue looking at the news for updates. As the summer holidays approach, take care in travelling overseas to Europe as not much is currently known about this virus yet.
