New Zealand, Israel confirm 12 swine flu cases
15 mins ago

WELLINGTON, New Zealand – New Zealand's health minister and an Israeli hospital are reporting the first confirmed cases of swine flu to hit the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific regions.

New Zealand Health Minister Tony Ryall reports 11 cases. Those infected are members of group of students and teachers who returned recently from a trip to Mexico, where the virus is suspected in more than 150 deaths.

The other case is in Netanya, an Israeli city north of Tel Aviv. Laniado Hospital's medical director says Health Ministry laboratory tests confirm swine flu in a 26-year-old patient who recently returned from Mexico.

Dr. Avinoam Skolnik says he doesn't know whether the strain is the same as the Mexican variety. Skolnik said Tuesday that the patient has fully recovered and is in "excellent condition."
