As of 14th June 2009, 1339 hours, Singapore has 34 confirmed cases of Influenza A (H1N1).
All 34 cases, except for one who was a close contact of a confirmed case, are imported cases with travel history.
Several persons were flown in from Melbourne back to Singapore after attending a wedding there.
Case number 30 is a 16 year old girl who attended the wedding in Melbourne as well.
She had symptoms on 9 June before she boarded the plane, and returned to Singapore from Melbourne on Emirates EK405 at 2350 hours on 9 June.
She was seated at row 49.
On 10 and 11 June, she returned to her school, Bedok North Secondary School, to attend some activities.
She was admitted to the Communicable Disease Centre (CDC) at Tan Tock Seng Hospital on 12 June night.

Rumours say that she's a certain someone (whose name I'm not at liberty to mention here), from class 4B.
And if the rumours are true, then I can say that the news saying that she returned to school on 10 and 11 June is true as well.
I can be sure because I saw her on 11 June.
I was standing next to where she and her friends were having an audition session for my school's BNSS idol with my music teacher.
Well, I was waiting for my teacher and I believe I stood around or less than 1 metre away from her.
Is that considered as close contact?
Well, I still feel alright now, so I currently assume that I wasn't infected with the virus.
Will update you, my loyal readers, with my status should anything happen.
Sayos :)
