/PanARMENIAN.Net/ People in Yerevan are concerned over rumors on
incidences of "swine flu" in Armenia.
"Over the past 5 days, there has been increased demand for face
shields. Since afternoon, we have sold 150-200 blocking masks which
cost AMD 80," employer of Farmex drug-store told a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter.
Liana Torosyan, chief specialist at Health Ministry’s Hygienic and
Anti-Epidemic Inspection, announced earlier that "One patient in
Armenia is currently suspected to have A/H1N1 (swine flu), and we
have sent his analysis sample to London laboratory."
There have been no official reports on swine flu incidences in the
country for now. Nevertheless, World Health Organization will provide
Armenia with relevant vaccines in January 2010.
