      Seventeen new cases of influenza A (H1N1) were confirmed today by the Department of

      exhibited more severe symptoms, said the director of health protection

      the epidemic is currently under preparation within the Government of Quebec.

      He added that the strategy of adjusting to changes in the epidemic and the possibility
      a stronger presence of the virus, especially during the fall.

      While the barbecue season is in full swing in Quebec, Mr. Poirier said he remains

      decreased appetite, headache and muscle aches.

      consult a doctor only in the case of a substantial deterioration of health status or
      in the presence of severe symptoms.
