Subscribe: Costa Rica confirmed swine flu cases may increase by five more
As of today, Costa Rica has only nine confirmed cases. but the health ministry says that five more cases are probable. Three of those cases are persons who had been in contact with the Boston Canta Mundi choir.
So far out of the suspected 873 cases, 735 have been discarded in Costa Rica.
In spite of all the scare, the World Health Organization believes that this particular pandemic has nothing to do with the severity of the disease, but rather with its geographic spread, and so far, it has been relatively mild.
