The Greater Accra Health directorate has confirmed to Asempa News that the H1N1 influenza (swine flu) has spread to the neighbouring communities in and around Achimota in Accra.A reliable source at the Achimota Hospital disclosed to Asempa News that, the hospital is receiving cases from areas such as Israel, Ofankor, Kisseiman, Mile 7 and the Rev. John Teye Memorial Institute, all in the Greater Accra Region.The hospital authorities say the disease is spreading at a faster pace and most of the victims are school children.The Schedule Officer at the Greater Accra Regional Directorate of the Ghana Health Service Oxygen Wula says the Swine Flu is spreading fast among school children because children normally have friends from different schools and that, slight contact can be contagious.Mr Oxygen Wula tells ASEMPA NEWS that the H1N1 is now spreading to several areas. He therefore advised that people who have been confirmed to have been infected by the Swine Flu or have symptoms of the disease be isolated for at least 7 days before joining other people.The H1N1 influenza usually spreads in congested areas and Mr. Wula adds that any school that has the infection should let the children go home.Snippets of information also say some pupils at Burma Camp School, Holy Child at Taifa, another Holy Child School at Sakumono, and Solid Rock at Kisseiman among others. The Schedule Officer mentions more others.Story by Yaa Asantewaa (ASEMPA FM)
