Despite numerous suspected cases of swine flu in the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, no cases had been confirmed until now.

Why are they so slow in confirming cases in the Baltic states? The rhizalabs map shows zero cases in Latvia & Lithuania. Is there any data available about the "suspected" cases to get a better idea of how many cases they actually have?
