country to 1,743 with two deaths as of 5 pm August 20.
According to the Ministry of Health, 1,090 patients have been released from hospital after treatment. The remaining 651 are under quarantine and being treated. All are in stable condition.
As the development of the epidemic becomes more complicated, the Health Ministry recommends that schools set up their own anti-flu steering committees and work with local health offices to create up a plan of action to combat the super-flu.
Those showing the flu’s symptoms or who suspect they might have contracted the disease should quickly isolate themselves from the community and inform their local health agency for timely consultation and support.
The ministry is working closely with related ministries and agencies, localities and international organisations to keep a close watch on the epidemic, curb its spread, and mitigate its impacts in Vietnam./.
