Health Ministry spokesperson Dr. Ahmed Kamel said there have been 
16 swine flu deaths and 172 infected cases since last December, adding 
that the doctors who have died recently did not die of swine flu, but of
 other causes.

“We had not had any swine flu cases since April 2013,” he said.

He said that all employees of fever and chest hospitals have been 
vaccinated. “We provided hospitals with 80,000 doses,” he said.

However, the Doctors Syndicate said it is holding a press 
conference on Tuesday to addresses the issue of the four doctors who 
died of swine flu, which Dr. Nasr Tantawy of the World Health 
Organization Preventive Medicine had announced.

The syndicate invited the World Health Organization to the 
conference and called on the Health Ministry to take serious measures in
 this regard.

Meanwhile, Dr. Sami Taha of the Veterinarians Syndicate warned of 
new swine flu virus strains and called for tight control of bird and 
animal farms to avoid human infections from animals of other diseases, 
including bird flu.

In a related development, Beni Suef Governor Magdi al-Batity said 
4,000 birds were culled in four places that were spotted with bird flu 
virus.

	There are also other reports off a 37 year old doctor from Mansoura (Dakhalia governorate) as being the first MERS-case. From another site tracking flu since 2006, with terrible google translations from Arabic to English.
