 Assistant Deputy Minister of Health, Dr Ziad Memish, said that despite the rapid outbreak of the disease worldwide, its force to spread in Saudi Arabia was moderate and under control, thanks to the strict and transparent influenza pandemic instructions of the Ministry of Health, based on guidelines of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
He said that Saudi Arabia was strictly following the WHO instructions on combating the disease through the Saudi National Committee.
