The health ministry on Monday announced that two patients at a private clinic had been diagnosed with influenza A (H1N1) also known as swine flu. The ministry did not name the clinic.
Swine flu is a relatively new strain of influenza (flu) that was responsible for a flu pandemic during 2009-2010.
It is sometimes known as H1N1 influenza because it is the H1N1 strain of virus.
On 10 August 2010, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared that the swine flu pandemic was officially over.
“The relevant Health Ministry services are observing the current situation with the necessary attention and that there is no reason to worry as both cases are seasonal influenza which is circulating in other European Countries,” a health ministry statement said.
