Venezuela Is Free of AH1N1 Virus
Caracas - Venezuela is free of the AH1N1
virus, which has infected more than 11,000
people in 42 countries and has killed 85
patients.
Jesus Querales, president of the Rafael
Rangel National Hygiene Institute, said 182
patients have been tested for the AH1N1
virus and all results were negative.
Since April 27, when the world warning
against AH1N1 influenza was issued,
Venezuelan health authorities have taken
measures to prevent the virus from entering
the country.
The countries most affected by AH1N1 flu are
Mexico with 244 cases and three recent
deaths, the United States with 241 patients
and two deaths, Canada with 223 cases, and
Japan with 49.
Honduras confirmed its first case on
Thursday, according to the Bolivarian News
Agency.
The Venezuelan minister of Health and Social
Protection, Jesus Mantilla, said recently
that thanks to the measures taken by the
National Government, Venezuela is free of
AH1N1 influenza.
"We have taken all measures necessary to
guarantee that Venezuela will continue to be
free of the AH1N1 virus, and among so many
measures, we have carried out an operation
in all ports and airports in the country,"
Mantilla pointed out. |
