Via The Daily News Egypt :
" CAIRO: A total of 733 new cases of the H1N1 virus (swine flu) have been found in Egypt, with 20 resulting deaths, between Jan. 3 and Jan. 8, according to the latest press statement released by the Ministry of Health on Monday.
The total numbers is slightly less than last week’s 838 cases and 24 deaths. However, Spokesperson for the Ministry of Health Abdel Rahman Shahin stated that they are expecting a high number of H1N1 virus cases to continue through the end of January before reported cases start to significantly decrease.
Ever since the H1N1 virus started to reappear in Egypt last October, there have been a total of 3,214 cases. Shahin stated that the rate of swine flu increase in Egypt is within the normal range of seasonal flu, noting that during the same period last year, from October 2009 to January 2010, there were 14,846 reported swine flu cases."
