    BUCHAREST, May 28 (Xinhua) -- The three A/H1N1 flu patients in Romania were all admitted to Matei Bals hospital in Bucharest, said Romanian Health Minister Ion Bazac on Thursday.

    Bazac confirmed two new A/H1N1 flu cases on Thursday, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in Romania to three.

    Romania announced on Wednesday its first confirmed case of A/H1N1 flu in a 30-year-old woman. The two new A/H1N1 cases are the one-year-old child and father of the woman, both secondary transmission cases.

    "The woman and her child have reduced symptoms. Her father has fever and rhinorrhea. The patients are quarantined at Matei Bals Institute," Bazac told a press conference on Thursday.

    The woman, who had returned from the United States with her two children on May 23, went to the hospital Tuesday with a fever and was diagnosed with the new virus.

    The other child of the woman didn't test positive for the virus.

    The minister said that health officials have identified all 22 people the woman came in contact with since she left for Romania.
