Two Indians, one of them a four-month-old infant, are among four new cases of swine flu detected in Qatar, it was reported on Monday.
Qatar News Agency quoted the Minister of Public Health and Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Health, Abdullah bin Khalid Al Qahtani, as saying the new cases took the total number in the Gulf state to 14.
The latest cases include an American child aged 10 who arrived in Qatar from the US on June 17, and an eight-year-old Jordanian child who arrived from Canada on June 13.
Two other cases involve Doha-based Indian children, one of whom is four-month-old, while the other one is two and a half.
All the infected persons have been given anti-virus medication and are in good health, officials said.
Qatar confirmed its first cases of the swine flu virus on June 16 when two young boys, travelling from the United States and Austria, were both diagnosed and subsequently treated.
