A Palestinian Authority boy has contracted the H1N1 flu virus, the Health Ministry said on Wednesday, the first confirmed PA case within Judea, Samaria and Gaza (Yesha). The victim is a four-year-old boy from Bethlehem who recently returned from a family trip to the United States, ministry official Asad Ramlawi told Reuters.
"This is the first confirmed (PA) case of the flu," he said. "The boy has been quarantined in his home. It's a mild case and his parents were given all the necessary instructions in order not to contract the flu."
