No Suspected Swine Flu in India: Health Ministry Official
Vineet Choudhary, Joint Secretary, Health, told a press conference here that there is no suspected case of swine flu in India and that surveillance is in place at all airports.
Choudhary also said the ministry is in talks with companies that manufacture the antidote.
Earlier, the Government of Tripura had sounded an alert across the state to check an outbreak of the deadly virus, official sources said.
The decision to issue the alert was taken at a meeting chaired by Principal Secretary of the Health Department, Yash Pal Singh. Two health directors S R Debbarma and R K Dhar were also present at the meeting.
Debbarma said four district level meetings would be organised soon with the chief medical officers and other health officials for making people aware of the disease.
The announcements in India followed a World Health Organisation (WHO) warning that "all of humanity is under threat" from a potential swine flu pandemic.
