A 55-year-old resident of Orangi Town, Karachi, was reported on Saturday to be the second patient to have contracted the Congo virus in the metropolis.
Another patient from the city’s district east was transferred this month to his home after recovering in the hospital.
The Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever, or simply Congo virus, is a viral disease, which is transmitted to humans through tick bites or contact with infected animal blood or tissues.
