Virus spreads

[Nanfeishen]

The number of people being observed for traces of the deadly mystery viral haemorrhagic fever (VHF) has climbed to 144 and has spread across two countries.

On Friday, Zambian authorities admitted they were trying to trace any people who had contact with South African tour operator Cecelia van Deventer and paramedic Hannes Els before they came back to South Africa to die.

The World Health Organisation (WHO), which has been drawn into the deadly medical mystery, announced that 23 people were being monitored in Zambia while another 121 were under observation in South Africa.

WHO spokesperson Gregory Hartl said they were still doing more contact tracing.

This only says 144 people are being monitored - not that they have the disease.
