A dangerous contagious anthrax disease has emerged in Macedonia, and the government is hiding, VMRO-DPMNE accused.

The party says that they had learned that a infected sheep from western Macedonia was brought to the Veterinary Faculty in Skopje two weeks ago.

The examination confirmed the diagnosis, and as a result 30 employees at the Faculty were immediately taken to the Infectious Disease Clinic for preventive treatment.

The opposition party is asking whether all preventive measures have been taken to vaccinate the population and localize the animal disease that is easily transmitted to humans.
