The government has alerted authorities in 6 bordering districts of the State after eleven fresh new cases of swine (H1N1) flu were reported from neighbouring Kerala in the last 2 days.
Health Secretary V K Subburaj said on Monday 14th June 2010 the fresh cases of swine flu in Kerala were due to the onset of monsoon there and health authorities in Tamil Nadu had been alerted in the 6 districts to take precautionary measures.
Dismissing worries that the outbreak might hamper the World Classical Tamil Conference in Coimbatore, he said the health authorities were sufficiently trained to tackle the disease and the government had adequate stock of medicines.
“We have also opened stalls to screen those who have symptoms of the disease,” he said after inaugurating the Preventive Heart Failure Clinic at Global Hospitals and Health City here.
On reports that the WHO (World Health Organization) had wasted huge sums of public money by sparking unjustified fears on it, he said, “There was a lot of type about the disease. It is just like any one more flu that can be treated.”
