Sebagaimana yang
dinyatakan oleh Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia,
setakat awal pagi tadi, seramai 227,915 orang
daripada 182 buah negara di seluruh dunia telah
disahkan dijangkiti Influenza A H1N1. Jumlah ini
adalah peningkatan sebanyak 18,925 kes dari
minggu sebelumnya dengan 8 buah negara membuat
laporan bagi kali pertama. Walaubagaimanapun
jumlah sebenar jangkitan berkenaan adalah
dijangkakan lebih tinggi memandangkan kebanyakan
negara tidak lagi dikehendaki melakukan ujian
makmal dan melaporkan setiap kes secara individu
ke Pertubuhan berkenaan.
Berbanding dengan minggu sebelumnya, sebanyak
430 kematian baru yang berkaitan dengan
Influenza A H1N1 telah dilaporkan di seluruh
dunia termasuk 55 kematian baru dilaporkan di
kalangan negara-negara ASEAN. Ini membawa jumlah
kematian yang berkaitan Influenza A H1N1 di
seluruh dunia kepada 2146.
Jumlah kes dan kematian yang berkaitan dengan
Influenza A H1N1 di kalangan negara-negara
ASEAN, sebagaimana yang dilaporkan ke Pertubuhan
Kesihatan Sedunia adalah seperti berikut:

Dengan peningkatan
jumlah kematian yang berkaitan dengan Influenza
A H1N1 di seluruh dunia ini, Kementerian
Kesihatan terus mengingatkan orang ramai yang
mempunyai tanda-tanda jangkitan influenza
khususnya mereka yang juga menghidap penyakit
kronik untuk segera berjumpa doktor bagi
mendapatkan rawatan, tanpa lengah. Ini adalah
kerana penghidap penyakit kronik seperti
penyakit kardiovaskular, penyakit respiratori,
penyakit kencing manis dan kanser serta ibu-ibu
mengandung mempunyai risiko yang lebih tinggi
mendapat kesan yang teruk termasuk kematian
akibat jangkitan virus berkenaan.
Kementerian Kesihatan juga ingin menasihatkan
orang ramai untuk mengelakkan atau menangguhkan
perjalanan ke luar negara terutamanya perjalanan
yang kurang penting, khususnya ke negara-negara
yang teruk terjejas oleh Influenza A H1N1.
Mereka yang perlu melakukan perjalanan ke luar
negara adalah dinasihatkan untuk mengambil
langkah-langkah berwaspada semasa berada di luar
negara seperti mengamalkan kebersihan diri yang
baik, mengamalkan etika batuk atau bersin yang
betul, mengelak dari mendampingi orang-orang
yang mempunyai tanda-tanda penyakit dan mengelak
dari mengunjungi tempat-tempat yang sesak.
Dalam pada itu, bagi minggu yang bermula pada 10
Ogos 2009 dan berakhir pada 16 Ogos 2009, Negara
Brunei Darussalam telah mencatatkan:

As released by
the World Health Organisation, by early this
morning, a total of 227,915 cases of Influenza A
H1N1 have been confirmed in 182 countries
worldwide. This figure is an increase by 18,925
cases from the previous week with 8 countries
reporting for the first time. However, as most
countries are no longer required to carry out
laboratory testing and report individual cases,
the actual number of those infected is expected
to be higher.
Also compared to the previous week, 430 new
deaths related to Influenza A H1N1 have been
reported worldwide including 55 new deaths
reported in ASEAN member countries. This brings
the total number of deaths related to Influenza
A H1N1 worldwide to 2146.
Total number of cases and deaths related to
Influenza A H1N1 in ASEAN member countries, as
reported to the World Health Organisation are as

With the increase in total number of deaths
related to Influenza A H1N1 globally, the
Ministry of Health continues to remind members
of the public who are showing symptoms of
influenza, especially those who also suffer from
chronic illnesses, to immediately seek medical
attention, without delay. This is because people
with chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular
diseases, respiratory diseases, diabetes
mellitus and cancer as well as pregnant mothers
are at a higher risk of developing serious
complications including death due to the
infection of the virus.
The Ministry of Health is also advising the
public to avoid or delay unnecessary travel to
other countries, especially to countries that
are seriously affected by Influenza A H1N1.
Those who need to travel to other countries are
advised to take precautionary measures such as
practicing good personal hygiene, practicing
correct coughing or sneezing etiquette, avoiding
those who have symptoms of influenza and
avoiding crowded places.
Meanwhile, in the week commencing 10 August 2009
and ended on 16 August 2009, Brunei Darussalam
has recorded:
- 5221 patients with symptoms of influenza
have sought medical treatment at health
centres throughout the country.
- From this total, 10.2% have been categorized
as probable cases of Influenza A H1N1 and
treated with anti-viral (Tamiflu).
- In the same week, 74 new cases of Influenza
A H1N1 have been confirmed through
laboratory tests, bringing the total
confirmed cases to 971.
- Also in the same period, 27 classes from 23
schools throughout the country have been
advised to be closed following the
confirmation of Influenza A H1N1 cases among
the school population.
