H1N1 FLU OUTBREAK June 25, 2009AFP PHNOM PENH - CAMBODIA reported three more cases of swine flu among visiting American students on Thursday, a day after the health ministry confirmed the country's first instance of the virus.
Two females and a male, aged 17, 18 and 20, had tested positive for the A(H1N1) virus, health minister Mam Bun Heng told reporters.
He said the three were recovering alongside a 16-year-old girl found to have the flu strain on Wednesday, another member of their school trip visiting from Kansas.
'Six others (from their group) are under investigation,' Mam Bun Heng told a press conference.
'They are staying in an isolation room together, with regular examinations of their health from doctors,' he said.
The students arrived in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh last Friday and were checked into a medical clinic with A(H1N1) symptoms on Monday, said health ministry official Ly Sovann.
Prime Minister Hun Sen told a graduation ceremony Thursday that the students would be given proper medical care.
'We have to treat those infected people until they get better. We would not allow them to go back (home) because it will infect other people on the plane or other countries,' Mr Hun Sen said in a speech.
'We have four cases now in Cambodia, but we should not be surprised at this situation. I appeal to citizens to be careful,' he added.
A(H1N1), which emerged in Mexico in April, has killed 238 people worldwide and infected more than 52,000 people in over 100 countries and territories.
