Amid the threat of corona infection in the UK, the crisis of Ebola-like Lassa Fever is increasing. The third person to be positive in the UK has lost his life. Britain's health security agency also reported a new death after confirming several of its cases. Three people have tested positive after a family in eastern England returned from a trip to West Africa. A spokesman for the Bedfordshire Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said: "We confirm the tragic death of the patient from our trust who suffered Lassa fever. We offer our condolences to his family in this difficult time."

He also said, 'We will continue to support the patient's family and our staff is working closely with colleagues from the UK's Health Security Agency. So that it can be traced better.' UKHSA said that the danger to the general public is still very small. Lassa fever is an acute viral disease that can cause internal bleeding and affect multiple organs. People become positive by coming into contact with objects that have unintentionally come in contact with food or rat urine or faeces. But it can also spread through the urine or sweat of an infected person.

The same is the case with the family of this viral Ebola. But it's not that deadly and dangerous. Which (Ebola) was declared endemic in many West African countries. After being positive from Lassa fever, some people recover completely, while some become badly ill. It originated in the city of Lassa in northern Nigeria. Subsequently, fever got the name Lassa in its name. After being positive from the disease, it takes 21 days for the symptoms to appear and it can spread through the fluids coming out of the positive body.
