The contagious Congo virus claimed life of another young man on Sunday named Khan Haidar s/o Janat Mir, from Piro Khel village of Landi Kotal division, Khyber Pakthunkhwa (KP).
The death was the second case of Congo virus in the region after the first case of Salman Shinwari, a twenty years old young man, who died of virus in Islamabad hospital on Saturday.
According to the details, Khan Haider was admitted to Hayatabad medical complex initially, from where he was referred to Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar. The precarious condition of Haider did not get better, and he breathed his last in Peshawar on Sunday morning.
It is worth mentioning that the ill-fated Haidar was the attendant of first affected Salman Shinwari, who died in Islamabad hospital.
The local administration while taking the precautionary measures closed three private schools and a market in the affected village to preclude the spread of the fatal virus.
The health officials urged the residents of the affected area to strictly follow the safety measures, especially, those people who have animals in their houses.
