Lesotho: 13 confirmed cases of H1N1 influenza
MASERU - The Lesotho Wednesday reported its first cases of H1N1 with 13 people reported positive to the virus, according to the Minister of Health of this small mountain kingdom in southern Africa, landlocked by South Africa.
"But we are asking the public not to panic because the state has taken steps to prevent and control the epidemic," he told AFP spokesman Minister Tumisang Moko.
The government has set up mobile clinics to supervise all major gateways to the country so as to refuse entry to people who have symptoms of influenza.
The last comprehensive review released September 4 by the WHO in 2837 reported deaths related to H1N1 influenza worldwide since its debut in April.
