FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda This year’s Hajj pilgrimage has been free of epidemic diseases such as Ebola and MERS, says a Saudi Arabian minister.
Saudi acting Health Minister Adel bin Muhammad Fakeih said on Monday that there were no reports about any patients with Ebola or the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV).
“I am pleased to announce the Hajj was free of all epidemic diseases,” Fakeih said.
He added that every pilgrim had to complete a health screening questionnaire and that “command and control” centers had been erected to direct the Hajj health operation.
The Saudis took more preventive measures, including the use of thermal cameras to detect any possible threats in passengers and 15 isolation rooms in the Jeddah airport to stop any suspicious cases.
According to Fakeih, 170 people had been suspicious of having MERS but all proved to be negative.
MERS is a cousin of SARS. The virus first emerged in the Middle East, and was discovered in September 2012 in a Qatari man who had traveled to Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi minister’s remarks came as a number of African countries are dealing with an Ebola epidemic.
There is currently no known cure for Ebola, which is a form of hemorrhagic fever with diarrhea, vomiting and bleeding as its symptoms.
The Ebola virus spreads through direct contact with infected blood, feces or sweat. It can also be spread through sexual contact or the unprotected handling of contaminated corpses.
The highly sacred religious ceremonies, highlighting the unity of God and total submission to His commandments and decrees, will continue until Monday.
Making the Hajj pilgrimage and performing all of its rituals is one of the central pillars of Islam.
