    GOVERNMENT OF ARMENIA DISCUSSES THE WAYS TO RESIST SWINE FLU

    The Government today discussed the ways of resisting swine
    flu. Minister of Health Harutyun Kushkyan said the republic possesses
    enough resources to fight the disease.

    "Quarantine has already been instituted at all checkpoints,"
    the Minister of Health reported to the Prime Minister. According
    to him, all goods imported from different countries undergo
    disinfection. Starting from April 26 the imports from countries,
    where cases of swine flu have already been registered, has
    been restricted. These include the United States, some European
    countries. Despite the preventive measures taken, some risk persists,
    since the swine flu passes to birds, while Armenia imports a great
    quantity of poultry.

    The Minister of Health noted that Armenia will have no problems with
    poultry or pork connected with the restriction of imports, i.e. the
    local production of the products is quite sufficient.

    Minister of Emergency Situations Mher Shahgeldyan suggested to
    implement preventive measures not only at the airport, but also in
    planes with the support of the civil aviation.
