Armenia seeks Tamiflu as swine flu cases mount
Authorities in Armenia are seeking additional supplies of Tamiflu as swine flu continues to spread there, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, or RFE/RL’s Armenian Service has reported.
The number of confirmed cases of swine flu in Armenia has recently more than doubled to 11.
According to the Armenian Health Ministry, five Armenians were diagnosed with the H1N1 virus, commonly known as swine flu, and hospitalized on a single day last week. Deputy Health Minister Hayk Darpinian repeated statements made by other Health Ministry officials and urged Armenians on Nov. 13 not to succumb to “panic” about the virus.
The minister said authorities are doing everything in their power to keep the H1N1 virus from spreading and told RFE/RL that pharmacies across Armenia have run out of Tamiflu because of panic buying caused by the swine-flu threat.
