Well it had to happen eventually, but it’s surprising it took this long given the presence of the A (H1N1) virus in the neighbouring Saudi Arabia, Yemen and the United Arab Emirates countries . The Ministry of Health (in Oman) yesterday announced that they have discovered three confirmed cases of swine flu in three Omani students returning from the United States. The trio arrived in Oman on June 13 before developing symptoms, after presence of the virus was confirmed they were treated then sent home.
The Gulf now has 60 confirmed cases of the virus with the majority (22) being found in Saudi Arabia. The World Health Organisation said as of Wednesday they have received information on more than 100 confirmed cases of the viru, in its Middle East member countries.

Hey Emma,
Interesting blog you have here. Must be nice working at Apex press as they publish a lot of stuff I’m familiar with and enjoy.
Don’t neglect your blog. Some of us are curious to know how you’re experience in Oman is coming along.
All the best!
Andy
