Following a meeting between health minister Dr. Helal Al-Sayer and the heads of the country's health zones, official ministry spokesman Dr. Yousif Al-Nisf explained that the step was taken to better counter the A(H1N1) virus, adding that Dr. Al-Sayer has called for increasing the efforts being made to combat the disease.
