Lebanon confirms first 3 swine flu cases
Lebanon's health minister has confirmed the country's first three cases of swine flu, found in passengers arriving at the airport.
Mohammed Jawad Khalife told reporters Saturday that a Lebanese man, a Canadian woman and her infant son were diagnosed with the virus a week ago and are now recovering.
The minister insisted that the virus does not exist locally in Lebanon.
Authorities have taken a series of measures recently to combat the flu, including screening suspect passengers, banning imports of pig livestock and products.ByREUTERS06/08/2025 07:57 AMByREUTERS06/08/2025 05:36 AMByMAARIV06/07/2025 02:33 PMByWALLA!06/07/2025 11:18 AMByREUTERS06/07/2025 03:25 AM
