The Malatsia-Sebastia Polyclinic employees phone local residents and
warn against typhoid. They strongly recommend drinking boiled water
to avoid the infection.
Though the Malatsia-Sebastia Epidemic Centre refuted the information,
we were informed that one of the buildings was put in quarantine.
"It is needless to panic. Each fruit and vegetable can cause weakness
in this season of the year," said Marietta Basilisyan, the deputy
head of the RA Health Ministry Anti-Epidemic Department.
According to Marietta Basilisyan they process protocols on each
case. She officially refuted the cases of typhoid epidemic.
The Malatsia-Sebastia Polyclinic chief doctor Samvel Sargsyan told A1+
that they had registered eight cases in the community. According to
him they wanted to keep residents on alert lest typhoid should spread.
The local residents state that children are running with high
temperature and suffer from weakness.
