Ukraine bans election rallies due to swine flu
03 November 2009
Ukraine has banned public meetings, including election rallies, for a three-week period after confirming its first death from swine flu
Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko announced the measures, saying the H1N1 virus had reached epidemic levels in three parts of western Ukraine, where there has been an outbreak of respiratory illness since mid-October.
The epidemic coincides with the start of campaigning for a presidential election on 17 January. Tymoshenko, herself a front-runner, said the emergency would affect campaign rallies.
