Swine Flu Overwhelms Venezuela

March 30, 2011January 25, 2023 Lakshmi Yajurvedi

Today, the Venezuelan government confirmed 415 cases of H1N1 influenza in Venezuela. This is twice as many cases as there were last week, meaning that the outbreak is quickly spreading throughout the country. Many schools such as ones in Mérida have closed in order to prevent the further spread of the disease. With about 900 other cases suspected in the country, public health officials recommend that Venezuelans get vaccinated as soon as possible.
