This was stated today at a press conference in Minsk by Deputy Minister of Health of Belarus Igor Gaievski.

About 40 thousand cases of acute respiratory infections have been registered in all regions of Belarus, and a maximum of 30 patients have the official diagnosis of influenza. The cases of H1N1 are rare. According to experts, these figures are absolutely normal for this period. There are no abnormal situations, pharmacy chains operate without interruption, and doctors are ready to provide medical care round the clock.

The situation is, according to experts, the result of successful vaccination in the country. This year more than 40% of Belarusians got vaccinated.
