Saavedra Virus Eradicated

The Friends of Kui Hsien today announced that the last patient in quarantine has recovered from the Saavedra Virus. The entire populace of the system has now been vaccinated, and the virus has been declared eradicated.

Three months ago the Friends of Kui Hsien were forced to declare a quarantine of Saavedra Dock as the virus broke out. It caused mental impairment and affected fine motor control, posing a particular danger to pilots. Despite their best efforts, it escaped quarantine and spread across the system, causing mass panic. In addition, incursions from the Santupik Blue Ring gang hit refugee convoys attempting to reach designated medical supply Type 9s scattered throughout the system.

Senator Patreus took action to deploy peacekeeping forces to the system, and the Ducal Argent Hospital on Eotienses A 3 dedicated its efforts to developing a vaccine. Emma Mueller, chairwoman of the Friends of Kui Hsien cooperative council, today praised the collaborative efforts of doctors across the two systems, as well as a fund-raising effort in Eotienses that has paid for a new medical wing at Saavedra Dock.
