While all the samples of Pandameic H1N1 have come from mainly urban areas for now, the Health Ministry has however put aside a plan of action to use if cases do arise in rural areas.

Media Liaison Officer Iliesa Tora said to date the 19 confirmed cases and all samples received by Mataika House for H1N1 has come from urban centres.

Tora said if they do receive cases from rural areas the Ministry will look at monitoring large gatherings.
