One of the students of the Philippine School in Oman was tested positive for A(H1N1) virus, ABS-CBN Middle East News Bureau reported.
School principal Dr. Narcisa Isla said the fourth year Sudanese student got the virus from a relative infected with A(H1N1).
“We have one but not a Filipino and he is a fourth year,” said Dr. Isla.
Dr. Isla explained that the student was absent from school since Saturday.
The case prompted the school to coordinate with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education.
“We have been doing already some precautionary measures, of course yung hygiene at sanitation,” she said.
The student is now under quarantine. His classmates and friends who were in close contact with him are now also under observation.
The Ministry of Health said 250 more cases were reported in just a span of six days, bringing the total of number of people infected with A(H1N1) to more than 700 with six deaths. Reports from Rowen Soldevilla, ABS-CBN Middle East News Bureau, Oman and Balitang Middle East
