Deputy Director of Public Health, Dr. Kyei Faridd, told Joy News that the patients are receiving treatment at home because the infections were at an early stage. He indicated that authorities have put in place facilities to transfer the patients for treatment “in case there is any complication.” “We have designated staff who have been trained, who have been with them.” Early this month, a young woman and her brother visiting from the U.K. were treated and cleared of the swine flu virus.
