First cases of H1N1 flu confirmed in Norway

The first two cases of H1N1 flu were confirmed in Norway on May 9. The Norwegian Health Directorate said two students in their 20s are recovering from “mild” forms of the disease.

Both of the infected people have recently spent time in Mexico. The man lives in Oslo and woman lives in Skien, the authorities said. Neither of them had to be hospitalized, they are both recovering in isolation at home. They are both being treated with Tamiflu.

The new type of flu broke out in Mexico last month and more than 4,200 cases have now been confirmed in countries around the world, reports Reuters.com.
