Bahrain limits flu tests
- Bahrain: Tuesday, October 27 - 2009 at 12:06
Bahrain's health ministry said it has stopped testing patients for swine flu, except in exceptional cases, Gulf Daily News has reported. The new policy also includes schoolchildren who report to health centres with the symptoms of ordinary flu, the ministry said. 'This has come about after we found that more than 80% of the students that were being tested for the virus were returning negative results,' Dr. Muna Al Mousawi, head of the ministry's communicable diseases said.
