Moldova Reports Two More Cases of A/H1N1 Flu

A 35-year-old man, who arrived from Switzerland on August 27, and his two-year-old son have tested positive for the virus, the ministry said in a statement.

The A/H1N1 virus, popularly known as swine flu, is easily transmitted through coughing or sneezing. The infection, which can be deadly to humans, cannot be contracted through consumption of thermally processed pork meat. Its symptoms are similar to the symptoms of the common flu.

Moldova has reported no swine flu-related deaths so far.
