The woman spent two days in intensive care at Bucharest’s ‘Matei Bals’ infectious diseases hospital and doctors are reserved about how her state of health will evolve.

Also, there is a 30% risk that people in her entourage caught the virus too, said hospital manager Adrian Streinu-Cercel, who is also secretary of state with the Health Ministry.

Streinu-Cercel said Romania now registers to cases of severe forms of the AH1N1 flu, the school teacher in Bucharest and a tenor in Cluj, northwestern Romania.
