Finland - Swine flu returns on pig farm
01 Dec 2009
Just when things seem to calm down, we get new reports of a new outbreak of swine flu. How much influenza is being labelled swine flu and visa versa, is the $64 thousand question. A new case of influenza H1N1 virus is reported to have caused flu in pigs and pig farm workers.
According to an unofficial report on Flutrackers, the Health and Welfare Department will examine the case in which H1N1 influenza is suspected to infect people in a Finnish pig farm. The Finnish Food Safety Authority, Evira, has sent the sample investigated THL's laboratory for confirmation.
