Two pupils from two different Sofia schools have been positively diagnosed as carriers of the H1N1 strain, the Bulgarian Health Ministry said on October 6 2009.

The infected children have been removed from classes, taken home and have been administered medical treatment. They will remain under home suveillance until they reach full  recovery, Dnevnik daily reported.

According to the report, both children are in stable condition and the symptoms were reported as mild, thus they are in no urgent need to be hospitalised. In light of their "relatively mild condition", the medical authorities have said that "other people with whom the children were in contact with will not be isolated, and no further preventive measures will be taken for the moment".

"The ministry is monitoring the situation closely of the others and in case their condition deteriorates, we will act upon it," the ministry said.

With the latest two cases, this brings the total number of people with H1N1 symptoms in Bulgaria to 94. Bulgaria's Health Ministry confirmed on September 30 2009 the first fatality related to the H1N1 strain. The victim was a 30-year-old man, who died in Lozenets hospital.

Wow Vanko, I can't believe you bought that load of BS your trying to sell. You morning cup of coffee has side effects, staying up too late has side effects, just about everything has side effects, so not only is your suggestion silly, but your knowledge on the subject is laughable. GET A CLUE!

This is all scaremongering. The symptoms are milder than ordinary flu. The big pharmas want us to believe it will kill us unless we pay for inoculations which are useless and themselves full of toxins like mercury. Before being injected get a doctor to sign that there are no side effects from it!!!
