JAKARTA - Indonesia confirmed that 22 more people are infected by the H1N1 Mexican flu virus, bringing the total number of cases in the country to 86, according to the Health Ministry in a statement which was released yesterday evening. All new cases were Indonesians. Nine of them were male, 13 of them female. Most of them had recently returned from travel abroad from countries like the United States, Hong Kong, Turkey and Singapore.
The patients were aged from 2 up to 58 years old, with 18 of them in Jakarta, 2 in Bandung of West Java, 1 in Yogyakarta and another in Surabaya of East Java, said Tjandra Yoga Aditama, a spokesperson for the Health Department. Experts fear that the current H1N1 Mexican flu virus could mix with the H5N1 avian influenza virus and create a new type of virus which can spread as easy as H1N1 and kill as easy as H5N1.
