The Health Ministry has prepared a 'National Influenza Pandemic Preparedness Plan'. This is an international requirement for any country affected by bird flu,

Hopefully in one or two months we will distribute them.

It's a high alert. Every region is on alert so if at any time it occurs in remote areas, we are ready,

It's a testament of our seriousness in fighting bird flu. We do not want Indonesia to become the world's source of bird flu.

This is to calm people, not to bring more panic. The government is ready to overcome this,

This can be described as an epidemic. These (cases) will happen again as long as we cannot determine the source,

This goes to show the problem is not just about a lack of doctors or geographical location, ... It's also about ignorance. Some parents, even rich ones, don't want to bring their children to clinics to get immunized.

The vaccine will not create any side affects,

Not yet, maybe in two or three days hopefully, because this is a holiday, but looking at the symptoms ... there's a large possibility that it is bird flu.

The national extraordinary condition was declared so that the people can remain calm and not panicking because the government is prepared to handle this in a national way,
