Saudi Arabia’s healthy ministry on Wednesday reassured citizens and residents that there is no need to worry about the spread of the hypothetical deadly ‘Disease X’ after health experts sounded the alarm over the matter.
The ministry said that there was no cause for concern after a panel at the World Economic Forum (WEF) last week touched on the need to be prepared for the emergence of a new deadly pathogen, named Disease X.
The disease reportedly could be 20 times worse than COVID-19.
Disease X’ is not an actual disease.
Disease X is “included to indicate an unknown pathogen that could cause a serious international epidemic,” the World Health Organization (WHO) says on its website.
