The number of A/H1N1 cases confirmed in Armenia hits 30. The
republic’s chief infectiologist Ara Asoyan abstained from any
assessments as to the situation over swine flu in Armenia. `It’s flu
pandemic worldwide, now it’s reached here,’ he told Panorama.am.

Referring to the recent two flu death cases, Asoyan said they died of
`flu complications, this is observed worldwide.’

Taking into consideration that the flu shows high tendencies to break
out, Asoyan urged: `Schools, kindergartens, universities should be
closed urgently, flu is spreading.’ `Our minister is up to this, you
will hear of it soon,’ he said.

Remind that the swine flu main symptoms are: high temperature,
headache, muscle pain, cough, sore throat; vomitting and diarrhea are
also possible.
