    Two new H1N1 deaths, nurseries shut down

    WAM
    Abu Dhabi : H1N1 has claimed two more lives ?- that of a 75-year-old Emirati man and an eight-month-old Emirati toddler -- in the UAE, bringing the death toll to six in the country, the Ministry of Health (MoH) has announced through the official news agency WAM.

    Meanwhile, the Ministry of Social Affairs has ordered the closure of nurseries and postponement of classes at special needs centres as part of preventive measures against H1N1.

    The report said that the toddler had suffered from the heart diseases and received the treatment in US, while the elderly man had suffered from chronic diseases.

    The number of death cases compared to the cases of H1N1 is less than 0.5 per cent a reassuring percentage that effective preventive and curative measures taken by the MoH and health authorities are sound.

    Mariam Mohammed Khalfan Al Roumi, Minister of Social Affairs, said the policies of the ministry put the health of children as a priority to prevent the spread of disease.

    Al Roumi has called on public to deal with this decision ?positively, without exaggeration? because it was taken as a precautionary measure to protect the community.

    It reiterated calls for cooperation among all sectors to implement preventive measures to curb and eradicate the disease.
