H1N1 virus or Swine Flu
We were also joined on the line by Hélène Rossouw – from the Provincial Department of Health. We were talking about the H1N1 virus or Swine Flu. About an hour ago, Western Cape Ministers of Health, Education and Social Development briefed the media on the latest developments and status with regard to the H1N1 virus or Swine Flu. Authorities have pleaded with the public not to panic after South Africa's first H1N1-related death was announced last week Monday. According to the latest figures from the country's National Institute for Communicable Diseases, the number of tested cases is at 480, but these figures are only an indication of tests and not of those potentially infected. Hélène explained more about the H1N1 virus and precautions that people can take. Try and get as much information as you can. For more information visit www.nicd.ac.za
