In a press release the ministry said that those visiting the north must take precautions, and strictly adhere to basic hygiene rules to protect their own health and public health as well.
The ministry warned that public health in the area has been endangered by a possible outbreak of contagious diseases and epidemics caused by flies, cockroaches and rodents.
