Vaudoise a contracted swine influenza in Switzerland
EPIDEMIC | For the first time, a person residing in the township has contracted the disease without leaving the country, apparently in contact with a person returned from travel.
? AP | For the first time the virus has not been directly "imported" by the patient when traveling in an area at risk (here: New York), but contracted in the country (it is probably true contact of a person returning from one of these regions).

Coup sur coup, two releases of cantonal physician fell Friday afternoon. To announce the fifth and sixth cases of influenza A (H1N1) in the canton.
And then? The problem is that the fifth case was not "imported" a region at risk, but the virus was contracted in the country.
According to the communiqu?, the influenza virus A (H1N1) was confirmed in a woman 29 years. Having not traveled, she was infected in Switzerland, possibly after contact with an individual citizen of the United States, said the district doctor.
The patient is at home where it is processed. A person living under the same roof has been put in quarantine.
Soon after came the announcement of the sixth case Waldenses, scenario, this time the virus was confirmed in a woman 24 years back in New York who had flu-like symptoms.
She is in isolation at home where it is processed. The cantonal physician meant the isolation of his surroundings.
The cantonal physician recalls that on 1 May, a hotline has been activated cantonale to answer questions from the public: 021 316 54 54, available 7 days on 7, 8 h. to 22 h.
