Fears Ebola-like ‘eye-bleeding disease’ that’s killed 9 has spread to Belgium – as hospital visits banned

A MAJOR Marburg outbreak in Rwanda, in East Africa, which has killed nine, may have travelled to Europe and could spread globally, an expert warns.

At least 27 cases of the incurable Ebola-like virus have been reported by local authorities since Friday – making this outbreak one of the largest Marburg outbreaks on record.

The majority of cases recorded so far have been reported by healthcare staff in and around the country’s capital Kigali.

The city is home to 1.2million people and has a well-connected airport, raising fears of international spread.

In a statement issued on Monday, the World Health Organisation (WHO) categorised the risk of spread to neighbouring countries as high.

It also suggested there is a risk of spread beyond East Africa.

Paul Hunter, a professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia, told The Sun this outbreak of Marburg could “crop up in any country globally”.

“The incubation period is between five and 15 days, plenty long enough for someone to get on a plane and fly anywhere in the World,” he explained.

The incubation period of a virus is the time between exposure to the virus and the onset of symptoms.

“Airport screening wouldn’t eliminate that risk due to the long incubation period,” Prof Paul said, as people could be travelling without showing any symptoms.

Previous outbreaks have typically seen around half of those infected die, though in the worst incidents where health care has been poor, that has risen to nearly 90 per cent.

Around 300 people who had contact with confirmed cases in Rwanda have been identified, with some placed in isolation facilities.

But one contact of a suspected case has already travelled to another country, the WHO said.

The statement didn’t directly mention the country, but a slide shared on X that mapped out the transmission chains pointed to the wife of someone with the disease who had travelled to Belgium.

The Sun has reached out to Belgian health authorities for confirmation.

The WHO’s statement said “appropriate response measures have been implemented” by the country in question.  

Meanwhile, the organisation is deploying experts and outbreak response tools to Rwanda to help curb the virus.

Some of the WHO's priority diseases that pose the biggest risk to public health
Marburg is on the WHO’s official watchlist of ‘priority pathogens’

Hospital patient visits have been banned for two weeks and funeral services have been restricted, in a bid to limit physical contact with those who may have the bug.

The US Embassy in Rwanda’s capital of Kigali has urged its staff to work remotely and avoid visiting offices.

Marburg is already flagged by the WHO as a ‘priority pathogen’ with pandemic potential.

Should we be worried?

By Professor Paul Hunter, from the Univeristy of East Anglia

“Even if the virus was brought over to Europe or the UK, the chance of it spreading like wildfire is small.

The disease spreads easily in hospitals in Africa because they don’t have the infection prevention resources we have in the West.

Once a diagnosis has been made in the UK the patient would be transferred to one of the High Level Isolation Units either at the Royal Free, London or Newcastle.

Once there the staff are very well trained in how to protect themselves.

The risk to healthcare workers would likely be early in the illness when, fortunately, patients are not as infectious.

The virus jumps to humans from fruit bats and spreads through direct contact with bodily fluids like blood, saliva, and mucus.

Symptoms include high fever, intense headaches, muscle pain, diarrhoea, and vomiting.

In severe cases, death can result from massive blood loss. from different parts of the body, including the eyes.

There are no approved treatments yet, but one vaccine is being trialled, which Prof Paul is “quite confident” will be effective.

Rwanda has urged the public to stay alert, practice good hygiene, and report any suspected cases.

Though Marburg causes symptoms similar to its cousin, Ebola, outbreaks have typically involved fewer than ten cases.

Only two outbreaks have surpassed 100 cases.

The largest one was in Uije, Angola, between 2004 and 2005, with 252 confirmed cases and 227 fatalities.

There was also a Marburg outbreak reported in Equatorial Guinea earlier in 2024, which was declared over in July.

What is Marburg virus?

Marburg is a filovirus like its more famous cousin, Ebola.

These are part of a broader group of viruses that can cause viral haemorrhagic fever, a syndrome of fever and bleeding.

Up to 90 per cent of those infected die.

The first outbreaks occurred in 1967 in lab workers in Germany and Yugoslavia who were working with African green monkeys imported from Uganda.

The virus was identified in a lab in Marburg, Germany.

Since then, outbreaks have occurred in a handful of countries in Africa, less frequently than Ebola.

Marburg’s natural host is a fruit bat, but it can also infect primates, pigs and other animals.

Human outbreaks start after a person has contact with an infected animal.

It’s spread between people mainly through direct contact, especially with bodily fluids, and it causes an illness like Ebola, with fever, headache and malaise, followed by vomiting, diarrhoea, and aches and pains.

The bleeding follows about five days later, and it can be fatal in up to 90 per cent of people infected.

Jockeys give up and get off their horses as rules go out the window in race full of ‘mayhem’

THIS race full of ‘mayhem’ saw carnage unfold all over the track – as jockeys gave up and got off their horses mid-race.

Another who tried to carry on racing was duly dumped off his horse after the action was halted when someone took a wrong turn.

The cross country contest looked to be going smoothly until the front runner missed a turning and went for the wrong fence.

Those in behind seemed to realise he had gone wrong and veered to their right sharply to jump a hedge.

But then, as one jockey got unseated, they all stopped and the horse and jockey who were leading turned back round to have another go.

They were eventually joined by the rest of the field, which included the rider who walked back holding his horse’s reins after being unshipped.

He looked to have given up entirely when one jockey saw his opportunity for an easy win and charged at the fence in front of the others.

But he soon ended up with egg on his face when he fell off after landing.

It was total chaos and no one seemed to have a clue what was going on.

Eventually, the five jockeys still on their horses decided to give it another go and set off racing.

While the two who had got off could only watch on as the rest thundered off into the distance.

Freddy Tett was one of the jockeys in the race, dubbed ‘mayhem’ by one publication.

He wrote in response to a clip of the bonkers race: “Sometimes I question what I’m actually doing.

“Was having a fantastic spin up to this point and so close to getting over and nicking the race. Alas not to be… try again next year I suppose.”

Fellow jockey Charly Prichard wrote: “I’ve watched a different horse every time and just keeps getting funnier.”

Another viewer said the video was ‘absolute scenes’ while a fellow punter wrote: “It’s like the bloody Crystal Maze this!”

Much-loved free perk of flying is disappearing forever – as yet another airline reveals plans to scrap it

A TOP European airline is scrapping free food onboard flights, just days after another carrier dropped theirs.

KLM is looking into ditching the free sandwiches it currently offers to economy passengers.

All travellers get the vegetarian sandwich and drink on their flight.

However, according to NL Times, the airline is considering “various concepts which make a wider range possible for a fee”.

A spokesperson said: “We are currently still in the research phase.

“The service will be introduced by the end of 2025 at the earliest.”

While passengers would still get free drinks such as coffee, tea and water, the only free food would be a small snack.

All other drinks such as alcohol and meals could become a paid-for option.

It comes just weeks after Air France – a sister company to KLM – confirmed they would be ditching their free food as well.

Passengers on short-haul flights were also once able to enjoy a sweet cookie at any time during the flight.

And on medium-haul flights passengers had an additional fresh sandwich for the rest of the journey.

But the new rules will mean only drinks such as tea, coffee and water will be free.

The two airlines are some of the last in Europe to still offer free food, with the majority having scrapped it.

Ryanair was one of the first budget airlines to scrap free food onboard.

This was followed by other low-cost airlines, with easyJet and Wizz Air also not offering free meals.

And most airlines only offer free meals if they are long-haul services.

British Airways scrapped complimentary meals on their short-haul flights back in 2017.

Back in the 1960s, food on planes was a much fancier affair.

Airlines with the best plane food

Korean Air

Korean Air won best airline cuisine in last year’s Global Traveler’s awards.

Some of their popular dishes onboard include bibimbap, a Korean rice dish, and ssambap, Korean rice lettuce rolls.

It also made the top 10 for airlines with the best plane food in CN Travelers 2023 Readers’ Choice Awards.

Japan Airlines

Coming in first place in the Reader’s Choice Awards was Japan Airlines.

The airline has partnered with six Michelin-star chefs, each of whom have three stars – so you can expect it to be good.

Passengers can choose bento boxes and miso soups onboard.

Singapore Airlines

Often voted one of the best airlines in the world, it is no surprising Singapore Airlines is said to have some of the best plane food.

Chef Dennis Littley said: “Their gourmet meals rival those of ground-based restaurants.”

Dishes include congee, a rice porridge, as well as Singaporean rice and curry options.

Some passengers were offers whole roast joints and souffles, along with silver service.

Sun Travel recently flew on the airline with the “world’s best plane food” – here’s what we thought.

Pete Rose dead aged 83: WWE Hall of Famer and baseball legend who famously dressed up as a CHICKEN to attack Kane dies

WWE Hall of Famer and baseball legend Pete Rose has died aged 83.

Rose is Major League Baseball’s all-time record holder for hits and a three-time World Series winner.

Rose had a famous WrestleMania rivalry with Kane

But he also had memorable cameos in the WWE – leading to a Hall of Fame induction in 2004.

Rose sadly passed away in Las Vegas but a cause of death has not yet been determined.

The American started his baseball career in 1963 and went onto become a 17-time All-Star in 21 seasons.

But he was given a lifetime ban in 1989 for betting on baseball games in which he had been involved as player or manager.

It denied him the chance of ever being chosen for MLB’s Hall of Fame.

Over a decade after his baseball retirement, Rose became a popular figure within the WWE and shared a feud with Kane.

He was a guest announcer at WrestleMania 14 in 1998 for the match between The Undertaker and Kane.

Rose was hit with a tombstone piledriver by Kane – one of the most iconic WWE moments involving a celebrity.

The next year at WrestleMania 15, Rose tried to attack Kane by disguising himself as the San Diego Chicken.

He was again on the end of a tombstone piledriver with the rivalry extending another year to WrestleMania 16.

Rose tried to attack Kane from behind with a baseball bat only to get a chokeslam and a stink face from Rikishi.

The baseball great returned to WWE in 2010 – six years after Kane inducted him into the Hall of Fame – to host of Monday Night Raw.

Rose became the first celebrity inducted with the likes of Mike Tyson, Snoop Dogg and Donald Trump to follow.

Following his death, WWE said in a statement: “For fans of WWE, he created another extraordinary legacy with some of the most memorable celebrity appearances of all time.

“Rose’s appearances at WrestleMania 14, WrestleMania 15, and WrestleMania 2000 are classic moments that stand among the celebrity highlights of WWE’s annual spectacular.”
