HAVANA, June 7 (Xinhua) -- Cuba's Health Ministry on Sunday
reported its fifth confirmed case of A/H1N1 flu.

The patient is a 62-year-old Canadian woman who arrived Tuesday
last week.

The woman, who had a cough, was detected at the Antonio Maceo
Airport in Cuba's second largest city Santiago by body temperature
monitoring system, and was sent directly to hospital for isolation, the
ministry said in a statement.

She has been treated with anti-viral drug Oseltamivir for the last
five days, and her health condition has improved, the statement said,
adding that other people aboard the same flight from Toronto are under
epidemiological track.
