Andrei Panasiuk, senior doctor at the clinical hospital in Tiraspol, said the town is a leader by the number of cases recorded in the Transnistrian region.”This is probably due to the fact that there are many newcomers in the town and that it is denser than other towns of the region,” the doctor said, quoted by Info-Prim Neo's correspondent in Tiraspol. More that 300 persons experiencing symptoms of acute respiratory infections come to the clinical hospital in Tiraspol every day. All over Transnistria, this figure is around 1,000 people. A number of 142 A (H1N1) pandemic flu cases have been confirmed in the Transnistrian region.
