Jakarta (B2B) - Pemerintah Indonesia akan menawarkan kerjasama penanganan penyakit Midde East Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus (MERS-CoV) dengan negara Arab Saudi dan negara-negara lain yang memiliki kasus tersebut.
"Kita sudah berbicara dengan Kementerian Luar Negeri bahwa kita akan tawarkan bantuan kerja sama, karena Indonesia sudah pernah mengalami flu burung dan kita bisa mengendalikannya," kata Menteri Kesehatan Nafsiah Mboi di Jakarta, Jumat (2/5).
Menurutnya, penyakit yang disebabkan virus korona itu memiliki gejala-gejala yang mirip dengan flu burung antara lain demam tinggi, batuk dan flu serta sesak napas.
Sedangkan kerjasama yang ditawarkan disebut Menkes berupa bantuan teknis bagaimana mengendalikan penularan penyakit itu secara lebih intensif mengingat Indonesia punya pengalaman dalam menekan penularan flu burung.
