Jamaica’s Swine Flu Count Now At 44
Two more Swine Flu (Influenza A – H1N1) cases were confirmed last night here in Jamaica, bringing the total number of confirmed Swine Flu cases in the island to 44. So far, there have been two confirmed deaths as a result of the virus.
Jamaica’s capacity to conduct tests for the virus will improve by next week, as the defective Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) machine which is at the National Influenza Center at the University of the West Indies, will be replaced courtesy of the Pan American Health Organization.
