Seventeen more cases of swine flue were detected in Israel over the weekend – ten on Friday and seven on Saturday. The Health Ministry said that all the victims were being treated, and they were doing well.
Most of the victims were passengers on El Al flight 014 from Toronto that landed in Israel on June 9, and Air France flight 2220 that landed at about midnight on June 11. Passengers who arrived in Israel on either of those flights who are feeling ill were asked to contact a doctor, the Ministry said.
