Anti-viral drugs are being issued to treat those affected by the flu
A fourth case of swine flu has been confirmed in Northern Ireland.

A man who has recently returned from Florida has tested positive. He is being treated with anti-virals and is recovering at home.

People the man was in close contact with have also been receiving the treatment.

Health Minister Michael McGimpsey said it was "not surprising" that there had been another case of swine flu in Northern Ireland.

"This was to be expected," he said.

"I am pleased to hear that the individual is recovering well at home. The public can be reassured （使安心，再保证）that we are prepared for a situation like this.

"Our containment strategy to use anti-virals to slow the spread of the virus also appears to be effective as well as reducing symptoms but we cannot be complacent. We will continue to be vigilant（警醒的，警惕的） to ensure that we are well placed to deal with any emerging situation."

Worldwide there have been 19,315 confirmed swine flu cases in 66 countries, with 117 deaths - all in Mexico and the US.
