Kazakhstan reports first H1N1 cases
ALMATY |
ALMATY (Reuters) - Kazakhstan on Thursday reported its first H1N1 flu cases, saying three students had been diagnosed with the virus after returning from the British capital.
"Three people have been confirmed to have it (H1N1)," Vitaly Sheyanov, a senior healthcare official, told Reuters.
Natalya Buyenko, an advisor to the Central Asian state's healthcare minister, said the students felt unwell after returning from London where they studied.
Kazakhstan's Healthcare Ministry said it would hold a briefing later on Thursday.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) said earlier this week that the global H1N1 death toll had risen to more than 700, up on the previous total of 429 two weeks earlier, and that the flu was the fastest-moving pandemic ever.
