The exact dates of these cases are not stated in the report. Exported
cases of chikungunya have been reported during the past month in many
countries outside the Indian Ocean basin, such as France,
Switzerland, Germany, French Guiana, and China. For details, please
see archived posts 20060304.0695, 20060316.0814, and 20060402.0989,
respectively. So far, no secondary spread from the exported cases in
these non-endemic countries has been found. Our thanks to Thomad

Re: Chikungunya - Germany Ex Indian Ocean

I guess we can now add Indonesia to the list of affected countries.
