People coming back from Bali after vacations have been advised by authorities to seek immediate medical care, if they end up developing flu like symptoms. The advisory has come after it was recently announced that there was an outbreak of the dreaded Legionnaires' disease in Indonesia.
It has been reported that four people from Victoria have already fallen prey to the disease after spending holidays in Bali over the period of the past six-months. Two men, who had visited the Indonesian Island fell prey to the illness in the month of December as well.
According to the information provided by the Chief Health Officer of Victoria, Dr. John Carnie, another half-a-dozen people were reported to be suffering from legionnaires in Western Australia. All of the infected had returned to Australia after a trip to the South East Asian Nation.
Dr. Carnie further informed that authorities in Indonesia had already been informed about the cases. He added that the Indonesian Government was currently investigating into all the cases to ascertain the source of the virus.
Meanwhile, four Victorian men, who had fallen sick from the virus and were aged between 45 and 82-years old, had recovered from the disease.
Meanwhile, the initial two cases of the virus were reported in the month of August and October.
