Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent progress he has made on investigation of the human case of influenza A(H1N2)v.
Since the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) identified a confirmed case of influenza A(H1N2)v, surveillance has been increased in parts of Northern Yorkshire, including expanding monitoring programmes in primary care and hospitals.
UKHSA and partner organisations are tracing contacts of the case and are offering testing. The source of their infection has not yet been ascertained. The individual concerned experienced a mild illness and has fully recovered.
