No Swine Flu Patients on St. Barths--- says LaCroix.

Marigot:--- The sous prefecture via a press release said that that results from samples taken from suspected or identified suspects of the swine flu on Saint-Barthélemy are now known. They are all negative, so there is at present, no detection or suspicion of H1N1 influenza A in Saint-Barthélemy.

The vigilance of the State and remains of the general care and hygiene are still valid.

It is reminded that persons returning from a trip to an affected country and presenting symptoms (fever and / or fatigue and / or soreness) and respiratory signs (cough and / or difficulty breathing) should contact the Center 15.

It is always asked people to visit a country affected by the flu AH1N1 to kindly postpone their trip.

To limit the spread of germs, the instructions to comply with the hygiene measures are maintained:

Handwashing (soap for at least 20 seconds) to repeat in the day, after sneezing snuffings and, after passing to the toilet after each contact with a patient.

In case of drying, sneezing, cough, cough: the flu virus is transmitted by air (respiratory droplets),

- Cover your mouth whenever you cough, then wash their hands;
- To cover their nose every time you sneeze, then wash their hands;
- Blowing the nose with tissue paper disposable thrown into a dustbin, if possible with a lid;
