Swine Flu in Panama
filed in Country, health on May.01, 2009
Until now we don’t have any person with the swine flu, we are still waiting for result from 4 possibles patients. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be prepare for it; that’s why the Government gave 5 millions dollars to take care of the situation with the Swine Flu.
One person from Peru had a stop here in panama this week, and when she arrived to Peru, they found out she had the swine flu. According to Representatives from the airport she stop in Panama, but she took her next plane right away.
Anyways, the people working at the airport are wearing masks to protect themselves, and people from the ministry of Health are giving pamphlets with the symptoms of the Swine flu and easy ways to protect yourself from the flu.
