Rwandan Government Says No More Swine Flu

Boston (DbTechNo) - The government of Rwanda has announced that there are no more swine flu cases in their country.

This news was made public by an official in the Ministry of Health, Dr. Justin Wane.

He said that following 4 months in which the country was dealing with numerous cases of the virus, as of last week there are no reported cases, and all who developed the swine flu have recovered.

“Since last week, we have not received any reports about emerging cases and certainly the situation is under control now. We mainly attribute the success of this fight to increased hygiene among all Rwandans,” he said.

“It is also important to note that those who contracted the flu made it a point not to infect others. Behavioral change also contributed a great deal to this achievement and we hope that the situation will remain as it is,” Wane added.

Swine flu first hit the country of Rwanda back in October, and since then more than 400 cases have been reported.

Swine flu has taken the world by storm since April of last year, prompting the World Health Organization to label it as a pandemic.

The virus first emerged in April in the country of Mexico and since then has swept across the globe, infecting hundreds of thousands and killing thousands.
