MULTAN: Another person died of the Congo Virus on Monday pushing the death toll in Punjab to three.

The deceased was under treatment at Nishtar Hospital. He had arrived from Kohlu for treatment.

Health experts urge people to be wary of symptoms like headache, vomiting, red eyes, bleeding and severe body pain. They advise that anybody suffering these symptoms rush to a nearby hospital because early diagnosis can save lives.

Congo virus lives on animals’ skins and is referred to as a tick. Animals with thicker hair are at a higher risk of being infected with the virus.

It is spread through animal blood and excrement.
