40 catch flu Romania
BUCHAREST: A hotel in the mountain resort of Sinaia has been closed after 40 Romanian and foreign law students meeting for a conference caught A (H1N1) flu, officials said.
Health State Secretary Adrian Streinu-Cercel said 40 people were hospitalised yesterday at the Matei Bals Institute for Infectious Diseases in Bucharest, suffering from medium to severe forms of the flu.
Streinu-Cercel says the flu was spread by a Portuguese tourist at the hotel who refused to be hospitalised for two days after it was confirmed that she was carrying the illness. He gave no further details. - AFP
