Four Countries Combatting Swine Flu (Canada/China/India/Indonesia)
Based on the report from CNN.com last April 28, 2009, countries all over the world are trying to combat the outbreak of swine flu.
In CANADA, there are now six mild cases. What they do as their measure? Issued a travel health notice, saying its public health agency was “tracking clusters of severe respiratory illness with deaths in Mexico.
In CHINA, as of now there are no cases of swine flu. Their measures? They banned pork imports from Mexico, California, Kansas and Texas in the United States.
In INDIA, as of now no cases of swine flue. Their measures? Indian health officials advised citizens to postpone their non-essential travel to the swine flu-hit regions. They also stepped up surveillance at ports and airports. And the states asked to review their preparedness.
In INDONESIA, no cases of swine flu. What they do as their measure? They increased surveillance. They test the temperatures of travelers flying into the country.
Even if these countries do not have cases of swine flu yet, they make it a point that they are prepared. And what they do is prevent. It is easier to prevent the flu than to fight against it. I hope that you are also doing your part in being aware on how to combat or fight against the outbreak by having a good hygiene.
