Re: Swine Flu spreads among military in Finland

Nine Finnish garrisons now reporting suspected swine flu cases


According to the information gathered by the Centre for Military Medicine, as many as nine of the Defence Forces? 24 garrisons may already have conscripts exhibiting symptoms of swine flu.

Strong suspicions of the spread of the ailment among conscripts have also been expressed in the Finnish Border Guard?s Immola unit in Imatra in the southeast of Finland.

The largest number of conscripts suffering from swine flu are still found in the garrison of the Parola Armoured Brigade in H?meenlinna.
In addition, the illness is suspected to have taken over garrisons in Tampere, Rovaniemi, and Kajaani. It may also have spread to conscripts from Lahti during a training camp in Lohtaja, and to garrisons in Vekaraj?rvi, Hamina, Niinisalo, and Siilinj?rvi.
According to the Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE?s Satakunta radio, the acute fever reported in the S?kyl? garrison near Pori is also most likely to be swine flu.
?Most of the fever cases are still suspected of being H1N1-positive, as there has not been enough time to examine the samples taken from them?, reports the Defence Forces epidemiologist Maria Virkki.

Most of the conscripts are to go home for Christmas, whereupon the number of swine flu cases is expected to increase.
The conscripts? holidays have not been banned, as at the moment the bans could not prevent the infection from spreading, according to Virkki.
With the exception of Parola, the number of H1N1-positive conscripts is still rather low.
