Upon investigation it was found that there was a cluster of 65 cases of a flu-like illness among a group of construction workers in the North of Mahe\u0301. The company employs 113 workers.<\/p>\n

Based on information available there is no link of the outbreak with overseas travel.<\/p>\n

The construction workers have been treated according to their symptoms and presentation, and are being isolated at their residence.<\/p>\n

There has not been any hospital admission and those who developed symptoms earlier have already recovered. All work at the construction site has been halted.<\/p>\n

The workers have all tested negative for Covid-19 and samples sent to the laboratory for further analysis have detected influenza type B. Compared to influenza type A, it tends to cause less severe illness.<\/p>\n
