From the Bird Flu Information Corner - which is turning into an extraordinarily good source of information - we get this report about health care workers quarantined in Surabaya, suspected of having the H5N1 virus.
Two have tested negative, but three remain in quarantine and apparently in `critical condition'.
Despite their condition, we have no official word on any test results for them.
A doctor and 4 paramedics of Dr Sutomo hospital Surabaya are quarantined
February 24, 2009
This is related with the flash news from AI lab unair, posted 4th of February. A doctor (anesthesiologist) and 4 paramedics of Dr Sutomo hospital Surabaya were quarantined due to bird flu-like symptoms on early February.
This is right after one Surabaya bird flu victim (St/18) was treated in that hospital. Further test revealed that the doctor and one of paramedic tested negative bird flu infection.
Up to last Sunday (22/2), three other paramedics are still in critical condition.
