Swine Flu in Greece - Single Case Confirmed

Greece, which so far has avoided the swine flu, has confirmed that a student who just returned from the United States has a mild case of the disease, Reuters reports.

Greek authorities have reiterated that they have ample doses of flu treatments available in case of a more serious outbreak.
