YANGON, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- A total of 25 A/H1N1 flu-infected patients out of 30 hospitalized have recovered from illness and discharged from there, according to the Health Department Tuesday.
The remaining five of the flu-infected patients are still under special medical treatment but appear recovering, the sources said.
Myanmar reported its first A/H1N1 flu case on June 27 with a 13-year-old girl who developed symptoms after coming back home from Singapore a day earlier.
So far, over 2 million people have been screened at airports, ports and border checkpoints, according to the department.
The authorities continue to take preventive measures against the possible spread of the global human flu pandemic, advising all private clinics in the country to report or transfer all the flu-suspected patients, who returned from abroad, to local state-run hospitals or health departments for increased surveillance.
