For the Minister of health, Isabel Iturria, there is a paranoia in the population that could increase for the handling of information in the media about the H1N1 influenza. For this reason refused to offer a daily part number amount of cases that is accounted for in Venezuela by the virus.
Iturria said that it is focusing attention on the element that is not the most relevant. 'I'm not going to say the numbers. 'You would enter in the confusion that has been generated from believing that we are giving a part of war of one unusual thing that should be handled with discretion of widespread alarm, when it should be handled with a view to education for health'. Dr. said that the masks were not designed so that healthy people protect themselves from a respiratory virus, but to avoid infected individuals to spread the germ. 'Its use is completely out of place and is only a reflection of what I call paranoia,' outlined Globovision.com.
The Minister indicated that the H1N1 flu vaccine is not the most important prevention measure, but hand-washing. He recommended people showing symptoms stay at home. 'Vaccination is only intended for some specific groups in particular'.
