Indonesia: Health Care Workers Quarantined

 

 

# 2824

 

 

From the Bird Flu Information Corner - which is turning into an extraordinarily good source of information - we get this report about health care workers quarantined in Surabaya,  suspected of having the H5N1 virus.


Two have tested negative, but three remain in quarantine and apparently in `critical condition'.  

 

Despite their condition, we have no official word on any test results for them.

This is related with the flash news from AI lab unair, posted 4th of February. A doctor (anesthesiologist) and 4 paramedics of Dr Sutomo hospital Surabaya were quarantined due to bird flu-like symptoms on early February.

 

This is right after one Surabaya bird flu victim (St/18) was treated in that hospital. Further test revealed that the doctor and one of paramedic tested negative bird flu infection.

 

Up to last Sunday (22/2), three other paramedics are still in critical condition.
