Head of the Bali Health Agency, I Nyoman Sutedja, has confirmed that an elementary school student has tested positive for the H1N1 virus.
The Cipta Darma Elementary School in Denpasar was closed on Monday and Tuesday after a number of students were found with influenza-like symptoms.
Meanwhile, the Sanglah public hospital is currently treating a 27-year old woman from Kintamani who is suspected to be carrying the virus.
The patient, identified as KM, is being treated in an isolation room of the hospital.
“We are still observing her condition. We have yet to receive the results of the laboratory testing,” Ken Wirasandhi, secretary of the hospital's H5N1 response team, said.
