Keep yourself healthy in the workplace and avoid getting H1N1, otherwise known as Swine Flu - Mywage Zimbabwe reports on the pandemic in Zimbabwe
The World Health Organisation together with the country’s Ministry of Health revealed statistics in the Epidemiological Bulletin number 36 for December 2009 that showed that 249 probable cases of Pandemic H1N1 (2009) had been reported in Zimbabwe, 41 of which were confirmed by PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) to be Pandemic H1N1 (2009).
The following provinces have reported cases: Manicaland, Harare, Mashonaland East and Midlands. The affected eight districts are: Harare Urban, Chivhu, Marondera, Goromonzi Seke, Mutasa, Nyanga and Chirumhanzu. The government has promised the situation is under control and that Zimbabweans should not panic.
As H1N1, also known as Swine Flu, is detected in Zimbabwe, it is important for people to be aware of the disease and how to avoid catching it. The workplace is often an area where many different people come together - both colleagues and clients - and it can be an environment where the flu is passed on, if one is not careful.
