The HA spokesman today (March 10) announced that two newly confirmed influenza cases were admitted to intensive care units, including a 67-year-old male patient at North District Hospital who was confirmed with Human Swine Influenza. He is in critical condition and requires ventilation support. The other is a 24-year-old female patient at Queen Elizabeth Hospital who was confirmed with Influenza A. She is in serious condition. Both patients were prescribed with Tamiflu. The hospitals will continue to closely monitor their condition.
