KUWAIT, Aug 2 (KUNA) -- Some 54 new swine flu cases were reported by Kuwait
on Sunday, taking the country's total number of patients up to 265, the
Ministry of Health said.
As their health conditions are not serious, the new cases have been allowed
to receive necessary medication at home, the ministry's spokesman Yussef
al-Nesif told KUNA.
Most swine flu cases in Kuwait have been discharged from hospital following
full recovery.
Kuwait's swine flu patients are mostly aged 16-35, the spokesman said,
adding that the ministry was taking all required measures to contain the
disease in the country. (end)
