OTTAWA -- Newly published government data suggests the vast majority
of the 26,000 Syrian refugees who had arrived in Canada by the end of
last month came healthy.
Only 10 were sent to hospital upon landing for possible communicable
diseases, while 54 were sent for other urgent medical reasons.
None of the refugees tested positive for HIV or syphilis and there
were only two possible cases of non-infectious tuberculosis.
The data appears in the latest version of the Canadian Communicable
Disease Report,published by the Public Health Agency of Canada, and
is the first comprehensive look at the Syrian newcomers.
The agency reviewed the medical exams refugees underwent before being
accepted to Canada and the screening they received on arrival.
It noted that while there were no major public health concerns, it
will take time for chronic conditions and mental-health concerns to
present themselves and health care professionals need to remain
vigilant.

6 indecent ways some Nigerian girls dress to church

The church stands as the yardstick for decency simply because it's believed to be a gathering that pleases to God. Most church leadership focus on preaching the gospel and so most times, people appear however they like to the holy gathering, forgetting to consider decency in their style and fashion. Indecency in church is like corruption in government; it ruins things. As much as the gospel preaches that God looks only inward and not the outward, the effect of indecency goes beyond the surroundings of the church. It poisons the minds some innocent members, it paints the church in a bad light to the public and a host of negativity that shouldn't come from the church. Check out the type of outfits some girls tend to wear to church. 1. Bosom on display 2. Definitely forgot to go home to change for church after hitting the club
