300 cases of H1N1: The total number of confirmed Influenza A (H1N1) cases in the country yesterday reached the 300 mark after a further 20 cases were reported by the Ministry of Health.

The ministry, meanwhile, continues to carry out control measures against the outbreak.

Based on the Influenza Pandemic Preparedness Plan, Brunei is currently in Phase 6b, which means that the influenza pandemic is currently on going worldwide.

Brunei is affected with the presence of confirmed cases in the country. As such, the Ministry of Health will continue to monitor and carry out activities for the particular phase as outlined in the plan.

This includes the continued surveillance of influenza like illnesses at health centres and to treat confirmed cases and their close contacts.

Close contacts of confirmed cases will also be tracked and with cooperation from the relevant agencies, they will be placed under quarantine.

Up until yesterday, 182 confirmed cases had recovered and 1,156 close contacts had completed their quarantine, allowing them to resume normal activities.

The Ministry of Health has also limited the number of visitors visiting patients at hospitals.

Also in the Influenza Pandemic Preparedness Plan are steps to encourage social distancing by advising the public to isolate themselves and to reduce social interactions – especially if they have the symptoms of the influenza.

Another crucial step is to promote good personal hygiene and clean surroundings to further prevent the spread of the influenza.

The Ministry of Health reminds the public that Influenza H1N1 enquiries can be directed to the Healthline at 145 during office hours or 822 0991 and 718 0991 outside office hours.
