H1N1, commonly known as the swine flu, is a seasonal human flu virus that also circulates in pigs. It first made headlines in 2009, when it caused a world-wide pandemic. Symptoms of H1N1 are similar to seasonal flu symptoms.
Health authorities are expected to give an update on the case on Wednesday afternoon.
