Another Death From H1N1
Friday, 17 July 2009
Saskatchewan Health says the amount of H1N1 flu cases being reported is slowing down.
But there has been another death due to the H1N1 flu. The Ministry says its a woman in her 50's who had serious underlying health issues.
As of today, (fri) there have been 870 cases of H1N1 flu virus confirmed in Saskatchewan that's an increase of 11 cases since Wednesday.
There are now four deaths in total that have been attributed to the virus. A woman in her forties, a man in his seventies and a child under 10 years of age.
The World Health Organization wants countries to continue to look for signs of the H1N1 flu virus or the patterns of the disease. Things like unusual clusters of severe cases or deaths or spikes in emergency department visits.
The WHO won't be reporting case counts anymore but does still want to know about deaths. They say the gathering of information on case counts uses up resources that could be better used for monitoring other things.
