Marburg Virus Disease & Tanzania

Dear Conference Delegates,

We understand that our conference delegates may have questions about the WHO Disease Outbreak News regarding Marburg Virus Disease and the United Republic of Tanzania. As outlined in the WHO statement, there are currently no travel restrictions for entry into

Tanzania. We have also confirmed with the Tanzania Ministry of Health that the situation in Kagera is contained and that the Global Voices Conference will proceed as planned, including a presentation from Ministry of Health officials. Please refer to the Notice from the Tanzania Ministry of Health for further details.

Do not hesitate to reach out to us at secretariat@internationalbiosafety.org should you have further questions. We look forward to seeing you in Arusha next week.
