The Ministry of Health has issued a public warning calling on people to protect themselves and their community by strictly following the preventive measures as advised through broadcasts and leaflets. Students and teachers in schools have been warned to monitor their health everyday for timely detection of any swine flu symptoms. Elderly, pregnant women and young children should take precautionary measures and avoid contact with patients. People must monitor any symptoms of flu such as respiratory illnesses, high fever, sore throat, bellyache, vomiting and diarrhoea and immediately seek medical help when necessary.
