Swine Flu Killed 79 People In Yemen In 3 Months, Dozens Infected - Houthi Health Ministry
Fakhir Rizvi Published January 17, 2019 | 07:19 PM
At least 79 people have died from the swine influenza (H1N1 virus) within the last three months, spokesman for the Houthi Health Ministry Youssef Hadiri said Thursday
"Seventy-nine people infected with H1N1 or swine flu have died since its emergence three months ago in 81 districts across Yemen," Hadiri was quoted as saying by the Saba news agency.
According to the news outlet, the ministry also informed about 372 cases of infection by the swine flu in the country.
Swine flu (subtype H1N1 of influenza A virus) is common among pigs. Transmission of the virus from animals to humans is not common and does not always lead to human flu, often resulting instead in the production of antibodies only. However, when it does develop in humans, it carries a higher risk of fatality than the common flu.
