Ten contract swine flu at České Budějovice school

Ten people have contracted swine flu at a secondary school in České Budějovice, a spokesperson for the regional hygiene authority said on Tuesday. The 10 include two employees and eight pupils at the school; they were found to have the disease after a school trip to Bavaria. The freshly detected cases are not serious and all of those infected are recovering at home. Last week the Czech Republic saw its first swine flu death, when a woman with heart problems died in Karlovy Vary after catching the H1N1 virus.
