DUBAI: Passenger had swine flu!!

Sunday 17 May, 2009

By Sean O’Driscoll

A passenger on a flight from Dubai has been confirmed as India’s first case of swine flu. The 23-year-old technology worker flew from New York to Dubai and took a transit flight to Hyderabad in India, where health inspectors took him in for monitoring.

The UAE Ministry of Health said that its technical committee on swine flu has taken all the necessary measures after it was informed of the case.

Dr Ali Ahmed bin Shukr, Director General of the UAE ministry, confirmed in a statement that the man transited through Dubai on May 12.

He added that the UAE health ministry continues to inquire to India authorities about the health of the passenger.

Bin Shukr said that a technical committee team stationed at the Dubai International Airport has the personal details about the passengers.

He said no symptom of the disease has appeared in any person.

The man travelled from the US by Emirates Airline flight EK-202 arriving at Hyderabad on 13 May morning.

The man’s friends and family and the 16 co-passengers have been traced.

Indian authorities say they have asked Emirates to provide a list of passengers who travelled in close proximity to him and will pass the information on to the World Health Organisation.

The Indian health ministry has appealed to all his co-passengers who boarded the flight in Dubai to monitor themselves for influenza-like symptoms and to provide their contact details to the Outbreak Monitoring Cell of India’s National Institute of Communicable Diseases.

Inspite of the stingent checks at the airports - Japan has now confirmed 92 domestic cases of the flu. Which means, you aren't safe wherever you are unless you protect yourself. Wear masks and avoid unecessary travels to places with lots of people.

hi sir Austria. Ayun sa narinig ko sa news..., In our current location, it maybe a boon on us or advantage coz were getting a rising temperature in which mahihirapan ang virus mag morph more at mabuhay nng matagal.. Pero most likely, halos lahat dito is naka aircon at centralize, maaring makapag infect cya within the inclose and usually they are suitable on cold atmosphere. Masasabing nating advantage coz of our extremely hot weather, pero masasabi ko ring d pa rin tayo ligtas...

kaya ingat nlng tau parati.
