Finally the Ministry of Health decided to publish the latest H1N1 update as of 8th May 2010. Note the increase in confirmed H1N1 cases and ILI cluster cases:
" Until 8:00 am on May 8, 2010, the Ministry received a total of nine (9) report of ILI cluster cases in the following seven (7) states as listed in Appendix 1.
Meanwhile, until at 5:30 pm on May 7, 2010, a total of 30 confirmed cases of Influenza A (H1N1) was reported for a cumulative number of 13,992 cases to date. The remaining number of ILI cases that are being treated in the wards in the country are 659 cases. Of these, 110 cases (16.7%) were confirmed positive influenza A (H1N1)."
This looks like an incomplete hurried update with the number of ICU patients not listed and also the cumulative fatalities also not included.
