  Deaths with confirmed infections

The 2009 Japan flu pandemic was an outbreak of the H1N1 and the Influenza A viruses across Japan. The World Health Organization raised the pandemic alert for influenza to level 4 in April 2009 following a worldwide outbreak of the H1N1 influenza strain. The first Japanese infections of H1N1 and Influenza A were both recorded early in May 2009. In August 2009, the government estimated that the virus strains had infected about 760,000 people. At the height of the pandemic in October 2009, it was estimated that 20% of the Japanese population had been infected and that there were on average more than 20 infected people in each Japanese medical facility. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare reported 198 Deaths as of March 30, 2010.[1] Japan put several measures in place to attempt to control the spread of infection including quarantining air travellers entering Japan who were suspected of having the virus and closing schools in areas of Japan with high numbers of infection. The pandemic ended in August 2010 when the World Health Organization announced that worldwide influenza infection number were back to the seasonal average before the outbreak occurred.

Government reaction

[edit]

In April, Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries instructed animal quarantine offices across the country to examine any live pigs being brought into the country to double-check for infection by the H1N1 strain of influenza.[2] Japanese Agriculture Minister Shigeru Ishiba appeared on TV to reassure consumers regarding the safety of pork.[3] The Japanese farm ministry said that it would not ask for restrictions on pork imports because pork was unlikely to be contaminated with the virus, and any virus would be killed in the cooking process anyway.[4]

He was initially thought to have a seasonal flu, and therefore a Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test had not been performed on him in a timely manner. Two other students were suspected, and 17 other students claimed flu-like symptoms, but the route of the infection was not traceable.[13]
  • An emergency meeting was held in Kobe, and the decision was made to close public schools and kindergartens in several wards--Higashinada, Nada, Chūō—and in a neighboring city, Ashiya, for seven days. The annual Kobe Festival, planned for that day and the next, was cancelled.[14]
  • The number of confirmed high school cases in Kobe reached 8 by nightfall, many were members of the same volleyball club who had recently competed in an inter-scholastic match.

The infection is not only a problem of Kansai area."[21]
  • To avoid false positive reporting, the Health, Labour and Welfare Ministry added to the diagnostic criteria for the novel flu that a patient have a record of overseas travel[22] but Tokyo metropolitan changed its policy to detect early stage novel flu and perform inspection even if no record of travel abroad existed.[23]

  • Six days after the first domestic infection case was confirmed,[16] the government implemented a new policy, revising its guidelines on battling the novel strain of H1N1.[32][33] The new policy grouped areas of Japan into two categories, depending on the number of confirmed patients.[32][33]
    • In areas already with high or sharply rising numbers of confirmed cases, more flexible measures were to be applied which focused on preventing patients from developing serious symptoms; priority would be placed on treating people with underlying health problems such as diabetes and asthma; local authorities would take initiative in dealing with outbreaks, and school lessons could be suspended on a school-by-school basis or on a class-by-class basis.[32][33]
    • In areas with few or no cases confirmed, strict measures were to remain in place to prevent the spread of infection; all infected patients would be hospitalized at medical institutions designated to treat cases of infectious diseases; Nearby schools or, those in a location at risk for spreading the virus, would be asked to suspend lessons.[32][33]
