Medics probe possible new swine flu case

A NEW "possible" case of swine flu is under investigation in the Lothians.

A spokeswoman for the Scottish Government said the case was "travel-related".

The number of confirmed cases of Influenza A (H1N1) in Scotland remains at 13.

Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon said: "It is very encouraging to note that again we have no new confirmed or probable cases.

"Risk to the public continues to be low. However, it is important to remain vigilant so we can continue to build on the success of the containment strategy."

Four more people were confirmed with the swine flu virus in England yesterday.
