The Daily Rising Kashmir: SKIMS employee dies of swine flu

"Srinagar, Feb 04: An employee working at SKIMS as senior assistant in administration department died of swine flu in the hospital on Monday, officials said.

...When asked why the patient was kept in the general ward, he said the restrictions by World Health Organisation have been withdrawn.
?There is no need to panic as the guidelines and restrictions by WHO have been removed that were put in place two years back,? he said.
?It is not the kind of pan-endemic that broke out two years back.?

...Kashmir Epidemiology lab at Barzulla, concerned with the respiratory diseases like swine flu, refused to comment on the matter.

However, senior health officials told Rising Kashmir they are deliberately hiding information to avoid ?negative publicity?.

?It is very unfortunate that officials of the epidemiology lab at Barzulla have kept it under wraps and are not disseminating information. If kept under wraps it would become epidemic and could have serious repercussions. They should have issued certain guidelines so that people may be able to take certain precautionary measures,? the official said, wishing anonymity...".
