Swine flu here in New Zealand?

without comments

Just came across this article via Twitter – but H1N1 may (let me emphasis the may) have been brought back to New Zealand (@1624) by some schools students that have recently returned from Mexico.

Twenty-two students from Auckland’s Rangitoto College, may have been infected with the Swine Flu, which the World Health Organisation warn could start a global epidemic… Up to six have been showing flu like symptoms, but the test results won’t be confirmed until Monday.

More details available on Stuff (@1713, updated @1920). Of course, it could just as well be standard travel lurgi as well. It sounds as though more information should be made available later tonight when the test results are back.
