First human case of flu strain similar to pig virus in UK

During a national screening for the first time was detected a human case of flu strain A(H1N2)v, which is similar to a virus currently circulating in pigs, and that the individual concerned had experienced a mild illness. Authorities are keeping a close watch on the patient’s close contacts by monitoring the situation particularly closely, especially after, in 2009, the swine flu pandemic in humans infected millions of people. For now, the British Institute says that the recently detected strain is different from all those detected before.
