The Health Ministry confirmed Wednesday the first two H1N1 flu cases in the country.Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari said lab test results revealed the patients, one in Jakarta and the other in Bali, had contracted the new strain of H1N1 influenza virus.
A 37-year-old Indonesian pilot, identified only as WA, was admitted to the Sulianti Saroso Hospital in North Jakarta last Friday; he had visited Australia on June 14 and Hong Kong on June 18.
“He is still in the isolation room although he is in a stable condition,” Siti was quoted by kompas.com as saying.
Another flu case was confirmed at the Sanglah General Hospital in Bali. The patient is a British tourist identified as BM, who was admitted to the hospital with flu symptoms on June 20.
“A lab test result found her to be H1N1 positive,” Siti said.
She added the cases did not come from inside the country, but urged people to remain cautious because the virus spread relatively fast in Australia. (adh)
