240 Kenyans quarantined over swine flu

[nofakenews]

The measures were taken after five pupils tested positive for the virus last week and one of them is said to have infected a parent, bringing the number of the afflicted to six.

Kenya's Medical Services Director Shennaz Sharrif believes the few observed cases are likely to spread the deadly virus fast enough to contaminate the region.

“We have 240 cases that we suspect to be infected with swine flu. We have quarantined people and banned public meetings in affected areas," Sharrif said.

“The number of cases is going to increase as we are in the flu season. H1N1 is going to replace the common influenza that occurs at this time," she said.

Kenya joined the global swine flu watch-list in June, when a visiting British student from Nottingham University became the first to be diagnosed with the disease.

The potentially fatal virus has not claimed any lives in the country yet
