Swine Flu Update: October 2009
Swine flu, otherwise known as the H1N1 influenza infection has now spread globally affecting a large number of people. The illness is mild like the common cold in most people and can last between 5 to 7 days before recovery takes place. It is feared that there could be an outbreak of the swine flu during the Hajj this year and arrangements are being made to provide assessment and treatment centres to the hujjaj who have flu-like illness in case of the swine flu. However, prevention is always better than a cure.
