Another person from the bus of 80 people returning from Spain over the weekend has been found to be sick with the A-H1N1 virus, commonly known as swine flu, and is be treated in a hospital in Szczecin, northern Poland.

To date, all of the cases of swine flu in Poland, with the exception of the eight-year-old Polish-American girl in Warsaw whose state remains critical, are being treated and are under control.

The Chief Sanitary Inspectorate confirmed 67 cases of swine flu in the country on Monday afternoon, but TVN24, Poland’s 24-hour news channel, was informed of another four cases being treated in Szczecin. Test results confirm that one of the four showing symptoms does indeed carry the A-H1N1 virus.

“The situation is under control, the state of the patients are stable and their lives are not in danger. One of the children diagnosed with A-H1N1 is waiting for official test results,” stated Grzegorz Kulig, deputy director of health services as the Szczecin hospital stated.

Of those from the bus tour that returned from Spain over the weekend carrying the virus, eight are in hospital in Lodz, central Poland, and one is in hospital in Opole, southern Poland. On Monday afternoon, another nine people checked into the Lodz hospital, also from the bus tour from Spain, showing symptoms of swine flu and are awaiting test results. (mmj)
