There has been an uproar after this disease came to the fore because a patient has lost his life in Britain. Out of the same three positive patients, one patient has died, although experts say that the mortality rate of Lassa fever is still 1 per cent, but it has become a cause of concern among the corona virus because the mortality rate in some positive patients is too much. Some people and pregnant women are at higher risk in their third trimester.
