felipe.rodrigues @ gazetadepiracicaba.com.br

At least one case of infection by Influenza A H1N1 was confirmed in a person of Piracicaba. Examination given on July 13 by Adolfo Lutz Institute confirms that a child of two years living in the municipality acquired the disease, which became popularly known as swine flu. The Department of Health announced that the count of the number of cases, this does not belong to Piracicaba, since the tests were collected at Albert Einstein Hospital in S?o Paulo.

All work done in the municipality is based on the protocol of the Ministry of Health, which are entered parameters set by international bodies such as WHO (World Health Organization) and PAHO (Pan American Health).

PREVENTION. It's always good to emphasize prevention to avoid widespread panic. Doctors recommend that people not take their hands to the face, eyes, nose and mouth. It is important to wash their hands more than 10 times a day, when a person infected cough or sneeze, the virus tends to remain flat in most areas, such as doors, money, papers, documents, provided there is moisture, Since you can not to the sterilization of the environment, hand hygiene should always be done, the alcohol gel is also very effective.
