Sunday, 16 August 2009


One more case of swine flu has been detected in the country taking the total of confirmed cases to 37, reports bdnews24.com.
Director of the Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) Dr Mahmudur Rahman confirmed it Friday.
IEDCR asked government hospitals Thursday to prepare their outdoor patient wards for a potential influx of swine flu patients following reports of at least 18 fatalities from the H1N1 flu in India, with states there deciding to shut schools, malls and cinema halls and nearly a thousand people testing positive for the virus.
