Armenian healthcare officials have confirmed that three cases of H1N1, commonly known as swine flu, are registered in Armenia this week; however the final conclusion must be given by the referent laboratory of the World Health Organization (WHO) in London.

One of the carriers of the virus is an Iranian, who arrived in Armenia from Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. (During the past few weeks, swine flu was rapidly spreading in Ukraine, where 90 people have already died of the H1N1 virus).
