Namibia : More on the swine flu outbreak

Via Meat Trade News Daily :

" Nearly 1,000 school children were feared to have swine flu or A H1N1 influenza in Namibia, the health ministry said Wednesday.

"A total of 970 learners from two schools, one in the capital Windhoek and one in north-central Namibia had been seen having symptoms of flu-like illness," Health Minister Richard Kamwi told parliament.

"Swabs were taken and 31 random samples sent to a laboratory and 29 were positive of AH1N1 and two were negative. In this regard we can conclude that all those who had the symptoms are assumed to be H1N1 positive," Kamwi added."
