Six more have been tested negative for Influenza A (H1N1), the Health Bureau said today. To date there is no probable or confirmed human case of Influenza A (H1N1) reported in Macao. Meanwhile, the Hospital Conde S. Januário treated 100 children and 36 adults with respiratory illness symptoms today and medical teams at terminals checked body temperatures of more than 149,000 people entering Macao. They also dealt with 146 enquiries. In the light of the spread of the virus, the Bureau urged people returning to Macao from overseas to avoid attending events at crowded venues within a seven-day period after their return. Should they develop any flu symptoms, they should wear a facemask and see a doctor immediately.
