H1N1 cases in Philippines reach 2,000

Written By Patricio Mangubat on Friday, July 3, 2009 | 5:40 AM

H1N1 cases in the Philippines has already breached the 2,000 mark, making the Philippines the sixth country with the highest cases of inflicted victims of the disease. The phenomenal speed by which this virus has spread is a cause of alarm, says Cong. Ruffy Biazon. In fact, one of Biazon's nephews caught the dreaded virus.

Calls for more testing centers for H1N1 are rising, yet the Department of Health admits that there are no funds to establish two more. Only the RITM is allowed to test all H1N1 suspected cases.

The Philippines is the country with the most number of H1N1 cases that tourism has already suffered due to news about this. Insiders from the travel industry blamed the Department of Health for causing "undue alarm" over H1N1. In response, the DOH said they would only be giving weekly news updates on this.
