Uganda has just confirmed its first case of the H1N1 swine flu virus in a 40-year-old man from the UK.
It is reported that the case rrived in Uganda on June 26, 2009 from London via Nairobi to Entebbe on Kenya Airways. He was able to pass through the health checkpoint at the airport with no symptoms and proceeded to Kampala to visit Ugandan friends. He did not stay in a hotel.
After contracting flu symptoms, he was admitted to Entebbe Hospital where Wednesday night he was confirmed to have Influenza A (H1N1) by the health laboratories in Entebbe.
The patient has been isolated in Entebbe and is reported to be in good condition.
On Monday I posted a confirmation of a first case of swine flu in Kenya. Click here for the story.
It is now just a matter of time before it lands in Tanzania. I hope we are prepared.

It might be in Tz now. Who knows, interestingly is mild and no local resident has been affected.
Statistics shows that even in most affected countries, the guys from Africa has not been affected. Any scientific explanation Fau?
