Saudi Public Health Authority Issues Travel Advisory for Several Countries Due to Spread of Infectious Diseases
The Saudi Public Health Authority has recently published a list of countries to which it is recommended not to travel, citing the spread of infectious diseases. The list includes several countries such as Iraq, Thailand, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Kenya, Chad, the Philippines, India, Syria, Uganda, Nepal, and Zimbabwe.
This advisory is based on reports issued by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States, which monitor the spread of infectious diseases around the world.
According to the Saudi Public Health Authority, the infectious diseases that have been reported in the listed countries include cholera, dysentery, plague, schistosomiasis, leishmania, tuberculosis, AIDS, and COVID-19. These diseases can be transmitted to humans through direct contact with infected people or animals, or through ingestion of contaminated food or water.
As a precaution, travelers are advised not to travel to these countries, or to take the necessary precautions when traveling there. This includes receiving the necessary vaccinations, avoiding direct contact with infected people or animals, and consuming only food or disinfected water. It is also recommended to wash hands well with soap and water frequently.
The Saudi Public Health Authority urges citizens to take these advisories seriously and to prioritize their health and safety when planning to travel to high-risk countries.
In light of the ongoing global pandemic, it is essential for travelers to stay informed about the health risks associated with their destination and to take necessary precautions to protect themselves and those around them.]
