Le CDC vient d'indiquer que la grippe H5N1 vient de passer en catégorie 1.

Le virus grippal H5N1 était classé avant en catégorie 4 et vient maintenant d'être reclassé en catégorie 1. Cette modification entraine semble t il une quarantaine obligatoire s'ils sont classés comme « cas suspecté » par des hôpitaux par exemple.

A titre d'exemple d'autres maladies sont dans cette catégorie comme le choléra, la fièvre jaune, la peste bubonique, la rage, le virus Ebola, l'anthrax et le SRAS.

Note ryback: Tiens, c'est assez curieux mais si quelqu'un détient un document sur les différentes catégories classant les maladies humaines, je suis preneur........ INFO ou INTOX ??????
