Seasonal flu under watch

January 07, 2014

There has been an upward trend in the circulation of H1N1 influenza which the Government is closely monitoring, Secretary for Food & Health Dr Ko Wing-man said. 

 

Speaking to the media after attending a public function today, Dr Ko said the Centre for Health Protection has an effective surveillance system involving public healthcare institutions and private hospitals and medical practitioners.

 

The Government will be able to assess the latest trends regarding flu prevalence and changes in flu viruses, pending data analysis results under the surveillance system, Dr Ko said.

 

A set of clinical guidelines has been provided to frontline medical staff to ensure patients diagnosed with seasonal flu can get the medication they need in a timely fashion, he added.
