 Indonesia has tallied its first case of polio in Aceh province, where health services already are strained following last year's devastating tsunami, the health minister said Tuesday. Polio has sickened 259 children since it reappeared in Indonesia seven months ago following a decade-long absence, she said, adding that the virus had spread to 10 of the sprawling archipelago's 32 provinces. Health experts say the latest outbreak is genetically linked to the virus circulating in Sudan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen and was likely brought to Indonesia by a migrant worker, a religious pilgrim or a traveler. |
