JAKARTA - In total, 27 people underwent medical treatment due to the fire incident that occurred in the blue zone of the 30th UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) as of Friday (21/11) local time. This was revealed by the Brazilian Ministry of Health (Kemenkes).

"The Joint Health Operations Center (CIOCS) responsible for monitoring and regulating health assistance during COP30 reports that according to updated data as of 09.00 Friday (21/11) local time, 27 people received medical treatment due to the fire that hit the blue zone of the event," said a press release from the Ministry of Health. Brazil reported from ANTARA, Saturday, November 22.

This number increased from the previous data of 21 people.

His party confirmed that all patients had been treated and 21 people had now been discharged. Meanwhile, other patients are still undergoing medical treatment at the Belem health facility.

"The treatment provided is related to the impact of smoke inhalation and anxiety attacks after the incident," he said.

Meanwhile, it is certain that no one was burned as a result of the incident.

The city, state and federal health teams continue to follow up and monitor the assistance provided and the health status of the affected delegates.

CIOCS is coordinated by the Ministry of Health in collaboration with the Para state team and Belem City.
