Press: Chief hygiene officer expects second wave of swine flu infections

The Czech Republic’s chief hygiene officer says he expects a second wave of the swine flu pandemic to hit the country. In an interview for Právo, Michal Vít said the next wave of infection with the H1N1 virus could occur once pupils return to Czech schools after the Christmas break. However, it might not come until the start of March and could continue until May, he told the newspaper. Mr Vít said the swine flu pandemic might last for a year or even longer.
