AH1N1 Cases
Climbs To 209 In Costa Rica
The ministerio de Salud (Health Ministry)
confirmed 30 more cases of AH1N1 flu virus
cases in Costa Rica, raising the total
number of infections to 209. One death has
been registered in Costa Rica.
The ministra de Salud, Maria Luisa Avila,
confirmed the additional cases, saying that
her officials have investigated a total of
2.904 suspected cases, of which 2.520 have
been discarded and 162 still waiting test
results, that could bring the number of
confirmed cases even higher.
Avila said that the majority of the infected
are under the age of 20 and no obvious
difference between the genders.
To date, only two of the country's seven
provinces have not reported any cases. Limon
and Puntarenas are AH1N1 free, said ministra
Avila.
