The Health Ministry announced Thursday that 443 new swine flu cases were registered in one week and that most of the cases were light and did not have to be hospitalized.
In a press release sent to KUNA, the ministry said that the total number of cases registered in the country since April reached 1,779, stressing that most cases were light and totally cured.
Recovery rate reached 99 percent and there is no need to be concerned, it emphasized.
The ministry said it operated in compliance with guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
