which it has been said that the outbreak of swine flu has been reached at an
alarming stage.
In a
press communique, he said that the situation is fully under control and he is
personally watching the current scenario of the disease in the state on the day
to day basis. He said that written instructions have already been issued to all
the Civil Surgeon to deal with the swine flu cases at the priority basis. He
informed that although some cases of swine flu has been reported, but the
situation has not so deteriorated as it has been reported.
Mr.

alert and to ensure the basic facilities in the hospitals to deal with any
eventuality. He further said that all the civil surgeons have been told to deal
with the prospective swine flu case at local or at the district level hospitals
considering the gravity of the case.
Mr.

of the state.” He also appealed the public not to panic as the Health
