Iran Taking Measures to Counter H1N1 Epidemic

Closing schools and probing into the situation are among measures taken so far by the Iranian administration to prevent the spread of an H1N1 flu epidemic after the disease claimed the lives of more than 28 people in southeastern provinces of Kerman and Sistan and Baluchestan.

Southeastern Iran has in recent days witnessed an outbreak of H1N1 flu, which according to the Chancellor of Kerman University of Medical Sciences Ali Akbar Haqdoust, has so far killed at least 28 people only in Kerman.
