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.

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.
