Sa ulat ni Nash Maulana ng Inquirer Mindanao, isang OFW galing ng Mindanao na nagtratrabaho na ng limang taon sa Saudi Arabia ang namatay at ang dahilan daw ng ikinamatay ay ang nakakatakot na MERS Corona Virus o Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus. Ayon sa ama ni Husna, na dinala anak niya na OFW sa King Fahd Hospital sa Jeddah noon at namatay doon noong April 12, 2014. 

Sabi ng ama ni Husna ayon sa mga balita ng mga kamag-anak nila na nasa Jeddah na nagkaroon ng flu-like symptoms si Husna bago dinala sa King Fahd Hospital ngunit namatay siya pagkalipas ng ilang araw. Hindi na raw pinauwi ang mga labi dahil ipinagbabawal ayon sa “quarantine restrictions”

Kung totoo ang balitang ito, isang OFW sa UAE ang namatay dahil dito at ito ang isa pa sa Saudi Arabia.

May mga bagay na nais kung itanong kong may mga informational drive po ba, at may mga Tagalog posters and graphics ads na pinapakalat ang ating mga Embassies at Consulates sa UAE at KSA para sa mga kababayang OFW upang maging aware, mapalawak ang kaalaman kung paano maiwasan ang parang lumalalang sitwasyon na ito.

INQUIRER REPORT HERE

COTABATO CITY, Philippines – An overseas Filipino worker from Maguindanao, who had worked in Saudi Arabia about five years already, recently died of suspected Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus (Mers-CoV), the family said here.

Tidting Khalifa of Matanog, Maguindanao, said her 44-year old daughter, Husna, had been taken to the King Fahd Hospital in Jeddah and died there on April 12.

Husna, he said, had been in Saudi Arabia since 2009, on an assumed passport belonging to a Norisa Naing.

“It was given to her by her recruiter,” he said, without identifying the recruiter.

Khalifa, quoting information the family got from sources – including other relatives working in Jeddah — said his daughter had suffered from flu-like symptoms before being taken to the King Fahd hospital.

But she died a few days later.

Her remains were buried there due to quarantine restrictions, he said.

Mers-CoV has been giving Saudi health authorities a serious headache since first discovered there in 2012.

Victims suffering from Mers-CoV develop severe acute respiratory illness such as fever, cough, and shortness of breath. About 50 percent of the 206 victims diagnosed with the viral disease had died, the Saudi Ministry of Health said.

TIPS ON HOW TO SOMEHOW AVOID GETTING INFECTED BY THE MERS CORONA VIRUS

• Magsuot ng mask kung kinakailangan lalo na sa matataong lugar at pampublikong mga lugar.

• Gumamit ng Disinfectant Alcohol, Sanitizers, at ibang mga bagay na makakapatay ng mikrobyo.

• Maghugas ng kamay bago kumain at kapag humawak ng mga bagay na nahahawakan ng karamihang tao kagaya ng doors, elevators, at iba pa.

• Kung kinakailangan, iwasang hawakan ang mata, ilong, at bibig dahil naililipat ng mga maduduming kamay ang virus papasok sa ating katawan.

• Kapag bumabahing, gumamit ng tissue, panyo at iwasang bumahing sa dalawang kamay, bumahing sa braso o siko para di malagyan ng virus ang mga kamay.

• Iwasang makihalubilo sa mga taong maysakit.

• Uminom ng immune system boosters o vitamins, pampalakas ng resistansiya, kumain ng mga prutas at gulay at higit sa lahat wag magpuyat 
Magbigay ng sapat na pahinga sa katawan para lumakas ang resistensiya sa virus.
