Chile confirms first case of new flu virus Sun May 17, 2009 11:48am EDT (Updates with health ministry confirmation, which changes information on victim) By Antonio de la Jara SANTIAGO, May 17 (Reuters) - Chile's health minister confirmed the country's first case of the H1N1 flu virus in a news conference on Sunday. The person who contracted the flu was a 32-year-old Chilean woman who recently returned to Chile from the Dominican Republic, said Health Minister Alvaro Erazo. Earlier, a government source told Reuters that the woman was 25 and had been traveling in Mexico. The woman was in good health and receiving anti-viral treatment in a hospital, the health minister said. Some 60 people have died in Mexico of the new flu strain that last month prompted the World Health Organization to raise its global pandemic alert level to 5 on a 6-point scale. More than 35 countries have confirmed cases of the virus. (Reporting by Antonio de la Jara, Writing by Fiona Ortiz)
