No sign yet of H1N1 second wave

KUALA LUMPUR, March 10 -- There is no indication yet of a second wave of the Influenza A (H1N1) occurring, said the Director-General of Health Services, Tan Sri Dr Mohd Ismail Merican.

He said this was based on the monitoring of H1N1 clinical cases as well as the clusters of influenze-like ilnesses (ILI).

However, he said the risk of the second wave occurring was still there because Malaysians were still susceptible to such infection.

Dr Mohd Ismail reminded the people to continue to be wary of the possibility of the second wave occurring by adopting a healthy lifestyle, maintaining hygiene and seeking early treatment.
