Flu cases drop
A/H1N1 flu cases on the Chinese mainland last week accounted for 26.8 percent of all flu cases, down from 39.1 percent the previous week.
From January 18 to 24, the mainland reported a total of 1,074 A/H1N1 cases, 255 people hospitalized and 21 related deaths, said a notice released by the Ministry of Health on Wednesday.
The notice said that currently in most parts of the country, the A/H1N1 flu virus was still spreading at a community level in spite of a downward trend nationally and internationally.
With Spring Festival approaching and a large number of people expected to return home for family reunions, the ministry urged migrant workers and students to take full protection measures against the virus during their journeys.
Vulnerable groups, particularly pregnant women, should be highly cautious when traveling. The ministry reiterated its recommendation for pregnant mothers to take the H1N1 vaccination.
