In today's newspapers, the dreaded H1N1 flu or swine flu infected persons had been discharged from all the hospitals in Sarawak. That appears to be a good piece of news for all of us.
According to the report, the minister concerned, Dr. George Chan said there were 33 cases, including the latest ones, were discharged on Tuesday.
Is the dreaded virus subsidising? Chan said the State Health Department was now working on stopping the "mitigation" of the flu. Meaning to say that the focus is to prevent the spread of the virus internally. Out of the 'imported' ones, there were as of Tuesday 12 cases involving locally transmitted patients. And that's the main objective of the department - to stop the spread or transmission of the flu.
The report also said that the those known to contract the flu after that will be asked to have "self isolation" at their respective homes and not to be admitted in the hospital, thus lessening their exposure to other people. Only those very sick and and weak would be admitted.
Whatever the moves are, let's hope that it's the beginning of disease dying out, while everyone of us are asked to continue practising self hygiene, by always washing our hands with soaps.
