Officials from the NHC emphasized the importance of early detection and timely reporting of cases. They highlighted collaborative efforts between local health departments, hospitals, and communities to strengthen monitoring and improve response mechanisms.
“We are implementing a multi-tiered approach to ensure that outbreaks are contained swiftly,” said a spokesperson from the NHC. “Public awareness campaigns will be intensified to educate citizens on preventive measures, such as wearing masks, hand hygiene, and seeking prompt medical attention when symptoms arise.”
