        More confirmed H1N1 cases in Qatar but no ’emergency epidemic’

        At least five more cases of the H1N1 flu virus have been confirmed in students attending four different schools, kindergartens and nurseries in Qatar this month.
        The latest cases have affected Doha British School (DBS), DPS Modern Indian School, the kindergarten at the German International School and Giggles Nursery, officials there confirmed to Doha News.
        Following advice from Qatar’s Supreme Council of Health (SCH), most of these establishments remain open, but said they have undertaken appropriate cleaning measures.
        The SCH hasn’t publicly commented on the new cases. But earlier this week, following reports that three sisters in an independent school had been diagnosed with H1N1, officials said the number of flu cases remained in line with seasonal averages and that there was no “emergency epidemic.”
        Schools and nurseries with confirmed cases have written to parents, informing them of the situation and reminding them that children showing typical flu-like symptoms should not attend school.
