Egypt's Ministry of Agriculture has given instructions to veterinary departments across the country to take all the necessary precautions against Rift Valley Fever (RVF), especially in the provinces bordering Sudan, after a reported outbreak there.
Several vets from the General Organization for Veterinary Services (GOVS), which is part of the agriculture ministry, have been dispatched to Aswan, Al-Wadi al-Jadeed, Luxor, Qena and Sohag, the Red Sea, as well as south and north Sinai.
