The first case of swine flu was discovered in the West Bank city of Bethlehem Wednesday, dpa cited Palestinian Minister of Health Fathi Abu Mughli as saying. He said on Palestine TV that a four-year-old boy was diagnosed with the swine flu virus and was admitted to hospital for treatment. He said the boy returned from a trip to Texas, in the United States, only three days ago where he apparently caught the virus. He said there was no reason for alarm in the Palestinian areas as this case has been brought under control. He urged anyone who came in contact with the boy to report to hospital if they feel symptoms of the flu.
