"
Seven samples positive
Health Station in Thanh Giao, y Le Van Thong, head of the station, said medical social work completely surprised in a short time so many people with symptoms of influenza A/H1N1 visit. "When the outbreak we have informed the authorities of districts and provinces. Preventive Medicine Center and the Pasteur Institute HCMC province to survey the scene, taking dozens of samples and test conclusions H1N1 outbreak exists in Giao Thanh, seven cases have been discovered by positive for this virus.

According to Mr Thong, now at high schools in the commune had a student infected with H1N1, but have been quarantined at home. Pharmacists Nguyen Van The, head of prevention and control program of the Health Center in Thanh Phu district, said the health sector today is a headache for many epidemiological investigation was still impossible to determine the cause of disease because patients to know where to go from the commune to carry on spreading germs to the community, the commune has not appeared in poultry outbreaks. Meanwhile, he said in 2009 Update, Giao Thanh area with bird flu and appear in two phases of influenza A/H1N1 in humans with 52 patients (three positive cases) but also the ability to persist pathogens So far almost impossible.
The risk of epidemic spread
At present, Ben Tre, just a confirmation of H1N1 outbreaks in humans in Giao Thanh, unpublished translation. He said the health sector The direction of patients treated at home, providing free medicines and methods of guiding families of patients with isolated communities. Medical Center of Thanh Phu district has provided to Thanh Giao Commune Health Station 1100 special pill Tamiflu treatment and surgical masks, antiseptic drugs Cloramin B. 550 member stations using Tamiflu to treat 60 cases of severe disease and two phase spray disinfectant for all schools in the commune. District Health Center also established a mobile clinic at the hall of CPC to reduce the clinic. 26-2 am, at Con Giao Huu Thanh commune center, a primary school where H1N1 outbreaks in less than 300 m, and small business is buying and selling live poultry and poultry eggs like nothing has what happens. "People are very subjective with influenza A/H1N1 epidemic rumbling omen that all nature as if nothing happened" - he says Update.
If uncontrolled, high risk spread
"Currently we can only isolate the patient, the suspected infection at home and propaganda about the risk of infection through brochures, media and meetings of social and population groups. Students, the children are conscious of the disease and therefore the ability to isolate the high attendance. Separate cases of people infected, can not control whether they have complied with the provisions of the health sector or not. If they continue living, communication with the community during the treatment, the disease spread is inevitable. "
