KOTA BHARU, Oct 18 (Bernama) -- The influenza outbreak in Kelantan is under control with seven clusters detected as of Oct 15, involving several schools in the state.
State Local Government, Housing, Health and Environment Committee chairman Hilmi Abdullah said no new cases had been recorded since the last cluster was identified, indicating that control and prevention measures were working well.
“So far, we have seven influenza clusters involving school students. However, the situation is under control and there has been no increase in cases. The state also does not need to implement additional measures such as mass vaccination because the situation is still under control,” he told reporters after opening the national level 2025 World Rabies Day celebration in Tunjong, here today.
Hilmi said the state government would continue to consult the Kelantan Health Department periodically to evaluate the need for additional measures in the event of a rise in cases in any area.
