Brasilia - Brazil
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva assured
his government will continue to strictly
follow the orientations of the World Health
Organization over influenza virus A (H1N1).
Prevention actions will continue in
airports, Lula said during a press
conference and added that he is being
informed about the four confirmed cases
recently detected in the country, which pose
no infection risk for other people.
There was no chance of transfer of influenza
virus infection, which is good news since
the four cases are controlled, they were
infected in other country and are already in
good health condition.
Health Minister Jose Gomes Temporao
confirmed Thursday the first four cases in
Brazil, two in Sao Paulo, one in Minas
Gerais and one in Rio de Janeiro, the first
three are already discharged, the one from
Rio is isolated until 10 days after
infection.
There are other 15 suspect cases and some 93
possible cases of influenza virus that have
already been ruled out Thursday.
Temporao assured Brazilians must remain calm
and trust the rapid response of Brazil
health authorities. |
