Korea Confirms One More Case of H1N1

A new case of H1N1 influenza has been confirmed by South Korean health authorities, bringing the total number of domestic flu cases to 85.

The government's flu task force said an 18-year-old student who returned from the U.S. on June 13th is the latest to contract the strain.

Three other students who arrived in Korea from the U.S. between June 12th and 15th are presumed to have been infected with the virus. All are currently in quarantine.

Most of the new flu cases involve students who returned home from foreign countries for vacation.
