The number of swine flu cases in Armenia reached 11, Armenia’s chief
infectiologist Ara Asoyan told NEWS.am.

According to him, a total of 11 swine flu cases were registered in
Armenia. All the patients suspected of A/H1N1 virus were taken to Nork
infectious diseases hospital. The laboratory reports tested positive.

Out of 11 infected, three patients are already discharged from the
hospital. The health state of others is stable, Asoyan outlined.

Other patients are under inpatient treatment and take necessary
anti-flu medicine, Asoyan said. All 5 swine flu infected are RA
citizens, however he was at a loss to answer whether they were infected
in Armenia or not.

As NEWS.am reported previously, among 11 swine flu infected there
are 2 Iranian, 1 Turkish and 8 RA citizens.

There is no vaccine available against adults and children in the
country. There is only certain amount of Tamiflu in the country.
