Deadly virus gaining ground in Russia
Print Edition
At least 17 people have died of swine flu in Russia since last month, according to calculations based on statements from regional health authorities, as the virus appears to gain ground in the country.
鈥淔ive people have died from the H1N1 virus in Saint Petersburg,鈥 the spokeswoman for local health authorities, Maria Khitarishvili, said yesterday. "Identification procedures for three other flu-related deaths have yet to be completed."
Local authorities in Russia's second-largest city said that 313 people had been hospitalized with the virus in the last 10 days.
Four swine flu-related deaths were also recorded in the southern region of Rostov, where 120 cases of the virus were reported, authorities said.
These latest cases follow five deaths from the virus in the nearby region of Dagestan, and two deaths in Yekaterinburg and the southern region of Adygea.
Media reported another death in the northern city of Novy Urengoy in mid-December.
Top state doctor Anna Popova said the number of people infected with swine flu would 鈥渋nevitably鈥 grow next month.
