Posted:2009-10-28, 03:35:18 [UTC] Ref.no.: EP-20091028-23630-UKR
Situation Update No. 26 On 2009-11-07 at 14:11:03 [UTC]
Event: Epidemic Location: Ukraine MultiStates Ternopil, Lviv, Zakarpattya, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblasts
Number of Deads: 109 person(s) Number of Infected: 764000 person(s)
Situation
The number of infected people in the Ukraine shot up to 764000 since about two days ago. They have all fallen ill with the "flu and acute respiratory infections", 34000 have been hospitalised claims Olexander Bilovol. The flu AND respiratory deaths jumped up to 109 people and only 14 of those linked to swine flu according to health officials. The World Health Organisation however said that more people could be infected with h1n1. It is still unclear whether most people are infected with h1n1 or the viral pneumonic plague or as some claim it is the same thing (although the one is a virus and the other one a bacteria). So far evidence shows that this is a pneumonic plague mostly as well as h1n1 infecting people at the same time. the WHO is still to confirm whether the it is a normal h1n1 or if it has mutated into a different h1n1 than seen in the US and Uk like the president of the Ukraine claimed this week.
