Following the development of epidemic influenza in the district of Luj?n and the suggestions on this topic by the Province, the mayor Graciela Rosso declared health emergency, which was adopted unanimously by the City Council. This measure entered into from 0 hours last Thursday and will last for 96 hours, with the possibility to continue until the end of the emergency.

He added: "The situation in our town is being developed with great appearance of new cases. They have not all been serious, but we should not expect that they are serious in making this determination."
At the press conference given by the mayor and some members of the Crisis Committee was announced in Lujan and four people died from influenza, but only one of them, the young pregnant woman who died last week-is confirmation of this disease. Health Secretary Hector Ruffinelli explained that due to the large transmissibility of the H1N1 influenza because "we're in a phase of a pandemic, patients who have a severe bilateral pneumonia and died, we consider now as part of this disease, even without the confirmation of the laboratory. " Similarly, Rosso said that these tests were sent but not yet received the results.
In addition, Ruffinelli reported that the latest death occurred last Wednesday morning. According to the Health Secretary, was a man of 30 years who was placed in the Municipal Hospital and, after a bad outcome on Sunday, was transferred to intensive care and died.
Rosso, meanwhile, said that another of those who died because of this evil was a young man who worked at the Bingo and reportedly died of a severe pneumonia.
The Health Secretary said that there are two cases in which swabs were performed and the results have confirmed that influenza A, "a little boy that he was in hospital with bronchiolitis and the sister of the woman who died last week, but both have a good outcome and were discharged. He said: "We have two other cases are suspected, with a high index of suspicion."

Once you pass the four days of emergency decree signed by Health Rosso, will re-examine the situation together with the Crisis Committee to see if there is a need to continue this. "This is what we say at this time. If there was an incidence of new cases more rapidly in the population if there were other determination of the Ministry of Health of the Nation or the Province, the determination that would otherwise take. Taking decisions has to do with the dynamics of the epidemic has, according to the decisions that are being taken. Today this happens, but tomorrow it could improve, because in 96 hours if the incidence of cases is lower, we will return to previous instances. And if we see things more complicated, we will take further decisions that have to take, "explained the mayor.
In addition, Rosso commented that there would be no risk of further deterioration if after the time of emergency, it becomes a "previous instances, because the increase of influenza is expected in the coming days and if these measures manage to avoid this peak, then the epidemic behaves as expected, the cases will decrease. " "This is what we expect and that's what happens with other diseases," he reassured the community leader. Also recognized that the absence of a vaccine for this influenza is not possible to make a "blockade" of the disease to prevent infection. However, he explained that can be done "isolation" to prevent transmission. "We do not have the vaccine, but we have ways to prevent disease in crowded places," he said.

The decree also states that "we have the closure of those establishments which do not comply with the order and requesting the cooperation of various security forces to monitor this situation.
"We want to avoid is what we encounter in public places, closed, lots of people, because it promotes the spread of the disease. We have been talking with authorities to implement this is to be understood that we do not want to deprive individual freedoms, "said the mayor. For their part, businesses and agencies that provide services are not included among those to be closed, "because these are places of transit, and people do not remain in these facilities long enough to transmit the disease. Similarly, from the town requested that, in these locations, employees who are in touch with people using chinstrap "to protect their health and to protect also attended the scene." In addition, Rosso stated that it considered important to find a "fast dynamics" to the public in those places where it can generate an accumulation of people, such as banks or supermarkets. In the same way that for this type of business, the decree provides that "all municipal offices that serve the public should use chinstrap" and that it shall "as mandatory declared" the use of these elements in the churches and places of worship.
