A 15-year-old boy from Melbourne's outer north is Australia's 14th case of swine flu and the ninth case in Victoria. A spokesman for Victoria's Health Minister Daniel Andrews told AAP on Saturday that the boy was in home quarantine with his parents and two siblings. It's believed he is another community-acquired case, as he has no recent travel history.
"He, like a number of the other cases we spoke about yesterday, has no travel history or any link to anyone else who has a travel history," Mr Andrews told reporters in Melbourne.
The boy had also had no known contact with the other eight confirmed cases in the state.
Health authorities were tracing his movements over the past week, including contact with other students and school friends. (Sydney Morning Herald)
