Malaysian H1N1 flu patients recovering

Two Malaysian H1N1 flu patients recovering

A 21-year-old Malaysian student tested positive for the virus on his return from New York. He was admitted last Friday to the Sungei Buloh Hospital outside the capital, Kuala Lumpur.

His girlfriend continued her journey to Penang, via budget carrier AirAsia. She tested positive a day later.

Authorities launched an immediate search for all who had come into contact with them. That includes passengers on Malaysian Airlines MH 091 from Newark via Sweden, and AirAsia flight AK 5358 from Kuala Lumpur to Penang.
