(VOV) - The Ministry of Health has said that 30 provinces and cities nationwide have reported 220 A/H1N1 flu cases in humans since early this year, including seven fatalities, which exceed those of the same period last year (84 patients and five deaths).
The medical watchdog warns that schools, residential areas and crowded places are the most vulnerable to the epidemic?s outbreak.
Tao Van San, Director of the Health Centre of Muong Nhe district, Dien Bien province, said that 91 cases of the disease were detected in the district?s boarding school from February 14-22. The provincial health sector took preventive measures to successfully contain the disease and pupils have resumed studies at school.
At a junior high school in Quy Nhon city, Binh Dinh province, five pupils tested positive for the epidemic. Previously, 28 pupils from the school showed A/H1N1 symptoms such as fever, sneezing and having runny nose.
In the face of an A/H1N1 outbreak, the Health Ministry warns that cold, humid weather is favourable for the development and contagion of A/H1N1 virus. Offices, schools and factories are recommended to closely monitor the health of workers and students to proactively curb the spread of the disease.
