On 19 May 2009[citation needed] the authorities confirmed the first case of the new flu in Greece. The infected person is a 19 year old Greek student who studies in New York and who flew to Greece a few days ago. He is hospitalised at Sismanogleion[71] but is not gravely ill. The authorities have contacted many of the passengers who sat near this patient on the plane and are examining them for suspicious symptoms. At this point in time Greece has enough antivirals to cover 12% of the population[72] (at least 10% is the amount proposed by the EU directives). The 19-year-old is now out of the hospital and none of the passengers in his flight are infected.

On 29 May, a case has been confirmed.[80] The infected person, a Brazilian man has since recovered and left the country. On June 18 three new cases of swine flu were confirmed in Hungary, a married couple who returned from New York, and a man who came back from London were new infected.[81]

The first case of A(H1N1) in Iceland was reported on 23 May 2009. The infected person came to the country from New York and got sick shortly after he arrived in Iceland. The second case was announced on 9 June. The infected was a male in the Greater Reykjavík area who also had arrived from the United states. As of 6 August there are 54 cases of H1N1 in Iceland.[82][83][84] [85]

Iceland is currently being briefed by the WHO and is cooperating closely with ECDC, CDC and the EU in terms of monitoring and response. Initially the directorate of health warned people traveling to Mexico and the United States (especially California and Texas) to exercise caution and to contact a doctor immediately if they started showing symptoms of swine flu but on April 28 people travelling to Mexico were advised to cancel their trip unless its very urgent.[86][87]

On 28 April, it was announced that passengers arriving in Iceland from the United States or Mexico would be monitored and will undergo medical examination even if the slightest signs of influenza are detected.[88]

Iceland has stocks of Tamiflu and Relenza for one-third of its population.[88]

In a risk assessment made by the Icelandic government in 2008 in case of a influenza pandemic two scenarios are envisioned:

  • A worst-case scenario where 50% of the Icelandic population are infected and 3% of the infected population die.
  • A milder scenario where precautionary measures prevent infection, 25% of the Icelandic population are infected and 1% die.[89]

Latest details on cases of A(H1N1) flu in Ireland are to be found on the Health Service Executive website[90]. As of 29 June 2009 there were 39 cases in Ireland.[91].

Saturday 4 July 2009

A free swine flu vaccination is to be offered to the general population in the coming months, as part of a major plan to avoid the worst affects of a global pandemic.

The HSE plans to acquire over 7,500,000 doses of the vaccine, at a cost of almost €90 million.

The jabs would be administered by GPs or through a network of over a hundred swine flu clinics and will be ready by the autumn.

12 new cases of swine flu were confirmed here yesterday, bringing the total number in Ireland to 63.[98]

Friday 10 July 2009

Total number of laboratory confirmed cases in Ireland exceed 100. 9 of these cases are believed to have been in-country transmissions of the virus

Tuesday 21 July

11 new cases of the H1N1 virus have been identified in Ireland bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 164 including 17 cases which are believed to have been in-country transmissions of the virus.

As of July 28, 2009, there are reportedly 276 confirmed cases in Ireland, according to the HSE.[99] A man in his 30s is critically ill in St James's Hospital in Dublin with human swine flu (H1N1). The man, who is originally from Bratislava in Slovakia, was admitted to hospital late last week. He has been working in Ireland for several years.

Around 1,500 people visited GPs last week with suspected swine flu, three times more than the most recent figures released.

Director of the Health Protection Surveillance Centre Dr Darina O'Flanagan said the figure was included in the latest data from the Irish College of General Practitioners.

It represents 37 people per 100,000 and is three times more than figures released yesterday by the Department of Health.

Advertisement The Department said laboratory tests have confirmed 278 cases of the H1N1 virus have been reported but the actual number exceeds that total as family doctors report an increase in the number of cases they have been diagnosing in recent weeks.

Two patients who contracted human swine flu (H1N1) are still being treated in intensive care units.

Chief medical officer at the Department of Health Dr Tony Holohan said yesterday that the HSE expects some deaths from the virus, and further hospitalisations, over the coming weeks and months.

Dr Holohan said 12 people have been hospitalised so far.

A man in his 30s, who was admitted to St James's Hospital last week, remains 'critically ill' with the virus.

It is believed the man, who is originally from Bratislava in Slovakia, contracted the virus abroad. He has been living in Ireland for several years.

The hospital said that all necessary precautions were being taken and that the Health Service Executive and the Department of Health were being fully informed.[100]
