S'pore reports 1st flu case

S'pore reports 1st flu case

SINGAPORE has reported its first patient infected with the new A(H1N1) flu strain. The patient, a 22-year-old Singaporean woman, had been in New York from May 14 to 24, and arrived here on Tuesday morning.

While seated in row 55 on Singapore Airlines flight SQ25, she began to develop a cough, but she passed the thermal scanner at the airport later without being stopped, because she did not have a fever at the time.
