1 more flu patient discharged from hospital in Myanmar

The seventh 25-year-old patient was discharged from hospital Monday and surveillance measures against the patient's family members were halted, the sources said, adding that the six other patients, kept in the special hospitals' separate rooms, are getting better.

Myanmar reported the first case of new flu A/H1N1 in the country on June 27 with a 13-year-old girl who developed the symptoms after coming back home from Singapore a day earlier.

So far, the authorities have given medical check up to over 2 million people at airports, ports and border check points and examined those suspicious of the deadly disease since the outbreak in Mexico on April 28, it said.

The authorities claimed that the 13 human flu cases are all imported ones; Kazinform refers to Xinhua.
