CAIRO — Fear and panic have gripped many Egyptian families because of the simultaneous spread of four contagious viral diseases in Egyptian territories — mumps, measles, chickenpox and bird flu. As a result, some families in the regions infected with these diseases forbade their children from going to school.
The Ministry of Health was faced with anger at its dealing with the diseases, especially after some patients died. A citizen even filed a complaint against the Minister of Health at the police station.
