This machine translation (hat tip Dutchy at Flutrackers) indicates that at least 10 of the original 17 suspected bird flu patients hospitalized in Sulawesi have left isolation, and of those, 5 have been allowed to return home.
Two new patients entered isolation yesterday, Ikbal (6) and Karmila (3). Blood samples have been forwarded to the laboratory in Jakarta for testing.
By my count, that should leave 9 remaining in isolation, although given the vagaries of machine translations, one can never be too certain.
While no alternate diagnosis has been forthcoming, all test results from Jakarta have reportedly been negative for the H5N1 virus.
