There have long been warnings the virus could race like wildfire through the cramped, sometimes sewage-soaked alleys of the network of 34 camps in Cox's Bazar. But the World Health Organization (WHO) later said one case was a Rohingya man, and the other was a local man who lived nearby. Mahbubur Rahman, the chief health official in the Cox's Bazar district, said news of the infections had sparked "panic" in the camps. The 35-year-old Rohingya man, who lives in Kutupalong - the largest of the camps - also sparked a manhunt at one point after he fled before police found him around four hours later. Humanitarian groups would also help with visits by health workers to people inside the camps plus home deliveries of food and fuel.
