Nablus – Ma’an – The overall number of swine flu cases diagnosed in the northern West Bank city of Nablus rose to 11 after the virus was communicated by others, according to the director of the Nablus department in the Health Ministry, Dr Khalid Al-Qadiri on Sunday.
Al-Qadiri asserted that the Palestinian Ministry of Health has quarantined affected patients in western Nablus, and that a delegation comprising himself, the governor of Nablus, Jamal Muheisin, and other officials visited on Sunday morning the area where H1N1 had begun to spread. He insisted that the situation is under control.
Sources told Ma’an that some visitors who came from the US were carrying the virus, and they communicated it to other members of their families in western Nablus. Palestinian Minister of Health Fathi Abu Mughli is scheduled to hold a news conference on Sunday to address the phenomenon.
