6 more DLSU studes, 3 Ateneans have A(H1N1)

Okay, so this isn’t really about Enchong but since he studies and practices swimming every morning there in De La Salle Taft (I don’t know if he still does though since he’s graduating), I thought of updating about the A(H1N1) cases from there.

Eleven more cases of the Influenza A(H1N1) virus were confirmed Tuesday, including seven college and three high school students, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 57.

Six of the new swine flu cases are students of De La Salle University on Taft Avenue in Manila, bringing to 13 the total number of confirmed cases among DLSU students, while another is the first confirmed case from the nearby campus of De La Salle-College of St. Benilde.

“These new cases are also like the previous ones that are mild in nature, very similar to the cases seen in other affected countries,” Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said.

He added that all new cases were responding positively to medical treatment.

Duque announced eight new confirmed cases—seven Filipinos and a foreigner. Four are males and four are females ranging in age from 16 to 44. Two of them, including one at DLSU, recently traveled to the United States.

We wish you safety and good health, Enchong! :)
