Re: Egypt - Death Cairo Governorate, resulting from h5n1 infection total to date #32 .

I agree, as one of these two cases numbers will be assigned as a positive case for the governorate of Cairo.which now indicates five positive cases for Cairo since 2006. deaths Thur the 8th of march remain at 17, recovered cases also remained the same at 56 cases total for the Cairo governorate.

both of the recent cases were in the hospital since the 7th of march the onset date for illness would therefore be even earlier.
