Doctors in Costa Rica With AH1N1
The Hospital Nacional de Niños (Children's
Hospital) reports that five of its resident
doctors are out sick with the AH1N1 flu
virus. A sixth medical resident has now
recovered after being infected.
The incapacitation was confirmed by the
ministra de Salud, María Luisa Ávila.
The ministra said that samples are now being
tested at the laboratory and it will be
several days before the results are in,

avoid risk spreading infection.
