Two Corradino Correctional Facility inmates were hospitalised at 11pm on Monday, with one of them in critical condition, at Mater Dei's ITU reporting a chest infection due to a flu outbreak inside CCF.
In parliament this evening, parliamentary secretary for health Chris Fearne said that 10 inmates were found to have contracted influenza type A virus. He confirmed that one remained in critical condition.

[h=2]Influenza outbreak: 8 infected prisoners kept in isolation in cell, 2 still in hospital[/h]
Eight prisoners are being kept isolated in their cell after an outbreak of influenza that has hit the Corradino Correctional Facility, Home Affairs Minister Carmelo Abela said this morning. One prisoner died on Thursday of the complications that arose after his infection, while two others have been taken to hospital. One of them is being kept in intensive care while the other is in the infectious diseases ward; both are however in stable condition.
A press conference was called this morning in the wake of the death of an inmate on Thursday. The prisoner was admitted to Mater Dei Hospital with a severe chest infection and died from ?respiratory complications brought on by the influenza virus?.
[h=1]Another prisoner hospitalised, but situation is under control, minister says[/h] A third prisoner has been hospitalised after suffering flu symptoms, Home Affairs Minister Carmelo Abela said today.
One was admitted on Sunday and another on Monday and both were treated at the ITU. One of them died yesterday and an autopsy is being held today. The second is in a critical but stable condition.
Mr Abela said the third patient, who suffers asthma, was admitted late yesterday at the Infectious Disease Unit. Tests are being carried out to establish whether he is suffering the flu. His condition is stable.
The minister said another eight prison inmates, already seen earlier this week, were examined once more at their request this morning. One had the flu but the others were cleared.
The minister referred to a PN press conference yesterday and insisted that the government had nothing to hide and the prisoners were given treatment right from the outset.
