52 new H1N1 cases bring total infected in Singapore to 1,055

Singapore has confirmed 52 new cases of H1N1 flu, bringing the total to 1,055 so far. Investigations are ongoing for these 52 cases.

Of the 69 cases investigated on Sunday, 50 were local cases while 19 were imported ones.

Of the cumulative number of 1,003 cases investigated thus far, 591 were local cases and 412 were imported ones.

The Health Ministry says that the current strain remains mild, except for high-risk individuals with underlying medical conditions where complications and even deaths may occur.

The ministry urges members of the public who feel unwell with flu-like symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose) to promptly seek medical attention.

If the symptoms are mild, their usual GPs, the nearest Pandemic Preparedness Clinic or polyclinics, would be able to assess them.
