High Phase Of AH1N1 Pandemic
In Costa Rica Not Over Yet
Costa Rican Salud (Health) officials had
expected that the number of AH1N1 cases
would have began to drop on Friday after for
weeks of increasing infections and deaths.
But, such is not the case.
The ministerio de Salud has predicted that
by the end of July the pandemic situation
would ease, but now are saying that it will
linger on for at least another two weeks
before any signs of improvement begin to
appear.
The ministra de Salud, María Luisa Ávila, to
combat the rise in confirmed infections
which now stands at 718 and 22 deaths,
extended the mid-year school vacation
another week and cancelled the traditional
200 year plus "romeria" (walk to Cartago)
which was to have been held today and
tomorrow.
"The projections are updated daily and every
day we are learning that what occurs in the
mornings changes in the afternoons", said
ministra Ávila.
