Two more A(H1N1) cases
The Central Epidemics Command Center yesterday reported two more cases of imported swine flu, officially known as influenza A(H1N1), raising the total number of the nation’s confirmed cases to 60. The center said the patients are two female students, 14 and 21 years old, who had returned home from California. One of them developed symptoms after her return to Taiwan, while the other was found to have a fever upon arrival in Taiwan. Meanwhile, the center said that although community outbreaks of swine flu have been reported in Hong Kong and Thailand, Taiwan has no plan to revise its pandemic alert level or to upgrade its yellow travel advisory for the two countries. Mainland Affairs Council spokesman Liu Te-shun (劉德勳) reminded people traveling to or transiting in Hong Kong to pay special attention to hygiene.
