Hijjah 03, 1431 / Nov. 09, 2010, SPA -- Zimbabwe's capital Harare has recorded its first confirmed case of influenza A/ H1N1 and six suspected others since a fresh outbreak of the viral flu broke out in north western parts of the country mid last month, Xinhua reported. Of the six suspected cases in Harare, one has tested positive to the deadly influenza bringing to 16 the total number of confirmed cases from the outbreak, the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation reported on Tuesday. "So far 16 people have tested positive to H1N1 after undergoing rapid diagnostic testing," Health and Child Welfare Deputy Minister Douglas Mombeshora was quoted as saying by the State-run broadcaster. However, the minister urged the nation not to panic, saying the government has enough stocks of the drugs to cure the A/H1N1. He also urged patients to seek treatment early when they suspect any case of the virus.
