Indonesia’s health ministry reported today that two men have died of H5N1 avian influenza over the past 3 months, marking the government’s first official announcement of human cases since early June, when it said it would provide periodic updates instead of case-by-case notifications.
The update-in Bahasa, the language of Indonesia-appeared on the health ministry’s Web site, Bloomberg News reported. So far, the government has not posted an English version of the update on the main ministry site or that of the country’s avian flu committee.
