A 25-year-old Macao citizen who worked for a casino was confirmed as Macao’s second local Influenza A (H1N1) case today, the Health Bureau announced. The patient developed flu symptoms on 24 June and sought medical attention at Hospital Conde S. Januário yesterday afternoon and was tested positive for the virus later.
