At a press conference held at the ministerial headquarters, Ugarte asked people who have flu and fever higher than 38 degrees Celsius to go to the nearest hospital to receive proper medical care.
"We should not be alarmed, but we must be vigilant. We have to take precautions," he said noting that most of the cases so far detected in Peru (77) have not required hospitalization.
He added that his portfolio is strengthening the epidemiological surveillance of this virus, especially in cases suspected and cases of seasonal flu that can result in complications of pneumonia.
