New Influenza A (H1/N1)
The 25th International Papillomavirus Conference recommends following the general advice issued by the WHO.
For delegates of the 25th IPV, the organisers have also issued the following specific recommendation:
If you feel unwell, have high fever, cough or sore throat after arriving in Sweden
or when attending the 25th International Papillomavirus Conference?
-
Stay at your hotel room. Keep away from crowds and public transports.
-
Call one of the doctors of the 25th IPV Conference for advice:
Telephone 1: 0709367071 / +46 709367071
Telephone 2: 0768397936 / +46 768397936
Telephone 3: 0768882639 / +46 768882639
-
If at the venue, contact the information desk and/or call one of the 25th IPV doctors for advice.
The advice from
www.who.int is as follows:
WHO is not recommending travel restrictions
related to the outbreak of the
influenza A(H1N1) virus. Today,
international travel moves rapidly, with large numbers
of
individuals visiting various parts of the world. Limiting travel and
imposing travel restrictions would have very little effect on
stopping the virus from spreading,
but would be highly disruptive to
the global community.
Influenza A(H1N1) has already been confirmed
in many parts of the world.
The focus now is on minimizing the
impact of the virus through the rapid identification
of cases and
providing patients with appropriate medical care, rather than on
stopping its spread internationally. Furthermore, although
identifying the signs and symptoms of influenza in travellers can be
an effective monitoring technique, it is not effective in reducing
the spread of influenza as the virus can be transmitted from person
to person before the onset of symptoms. Scientific research based on
mathematical modelling indicates that restricting travel will be of
limited or no benefit in stopping the spread of disease. Historical
records of previous influenza pandemics, as well as experience with SARS, have validated this point.
Travellers can protect themselves and others
by following simple recommendations related to travel aimed at
preventing the spread of infection. Individuals who are ill should
delay travel plans and returning travellers who fall ill should seek
appropriate medical care. These recommendations are prudent measures
which can limit the
spread of many communicable diseases and not
only influenza A(H1N1).
How can I protect myself and prevent illness?
Practise general preventive measures for influenza to prevent infection:
- avoid close contact with people who appear unwell and have fever and cough;
- wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly and often;
- practise good health habits including adequate sleep, eating nutritious food,
and keeping physically active.
What should I do if I think I have the illness?
If you feel unwell, have high fever, cough or sore throat:
- Stay at home and keep away from work, school or crowds.
- Rest and take plenty of fluids.
- Cover your mouth and nose with disposable tissues when coughing and
sneezing, and dispose of the used tissues properly.
- Wash your hands with soap and water often and thoroughly, especially after coughing or sneezing.
- Inform family and friends about your illness and try to avoid contact with other people.
What should I do if I need medical attention?
- Contact your doctor or healthcare provider before travelling to a health facility, and report your symptoms. Explain why you think you have influenza A(H1N1)
(if you have recently travelled to a country where there is an outbreak in humans). Follow the advice given to you.
- If it is not possible to contact your healthcare provider in advance, communicate your suspicion of infection as soon as you arrive at the facility.
- Cover your nose and mouth during travel.
