A university dorm in Egypt has been put under quarantine after two students from the US tested positive for the H5N1 swine flu virus.
The dorm is part of American University in Cairo, and is currently home to 142 quarantined students who will remain there for the time being.
Swine flu has taken the world by storm, and according to the World Health Organization more than 19,000 cases have now been reported.
“There are two students who have confirmed positive H1N1 test results,” said university spokeswoman Rehab Saad El-Domiati.
According to Egyptian health officials, the 2 infected students came to Egypt in May from the U.S. but both of them took separate flights to the country.
