The more than 20 tests carried out on employees, drivers and other people who had been in contact with the two Chilean women who were diagnosed with A(H1N1) influenza after they had been in the country have all proved negative. According to the Deputy Minister for Collective Health, Nelson Rodriguez Monegro, a woman who was hospitalized in the Luis Eduardo Aybar Hospital was diagnosed as having an asthmatic condition, not the influenza virus. Hospital director Luisa Lafontaine said that the woman was admitted because she arrived in a nervous state after the private clinic she went to first told her that she could have the A(H1N1) virus. Tests found that the patient did not have the virus. Samples were taken from people who had been in contact with the affected tourists, including the housekeeper who cleaned their room and both drivers who drove the buses carrying personnel to Bavaro. The examinations are part of a follow-up process by the Ministry of Public Health on possible direct or indirect contacts, which could end up involving more than 1,000 people.
