This brings the total to eight confirmed cases of the Influenza ‘A’ virus. The additional infections are from the Belize District. The first confirmed case was announced by the Ministry of Health in July, with three cases in the Corozal District. The persons who had contracted the virus all had a travel history to the Yucatan Peninsula where the H-one-N-one had spread to several cities, killing several persons. Three days later, the Ministry of Health confirmed to News Five two additional cases-one in Belize City and the other in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye. Health officials had anticipated a spike of cases ahead of the flu season this year, but as the Director of Health Services, Doctor Marvin Manzanero explained, the number of flu cases in the north has decreased.
