Confirmed case in east remains only Irish casualty

THERE are no more probable or confirmed Irish swine flu cases, the Department of Health has stated.

The first case of swine flu in the State was confirmed on Saturday night and relates to a man from the east, probably from Dublin, who had recently been in Mexico.

At a press conference yesterday, chief medical officer at the Department of Health and Children, Dr Tony Holohan, said at this point in time there were no “probable” cases. The man who contracted the H1N1 virus here was continuing to do very well.
