Ceske Budejovice - Tests have confirmed that two local secondary school staff and eight students who recently returned from a trip to Bavaria have swine flu, regional health inspectorate head Jitka Lunackova said.

A total of 20 people have been checked for symptoms of the disease and the suspicion has been confirmed in ten cases. In all cases the course of the disease is light. The patients have been released to home care and have to stay in isolation, Lunackova said.

"The number of the patients may change. Of the people tested so far, the results of two were negative. In the remaining cases, where the patients showed symptoms of the disease somewhat later, it is necessary to wait for the results' confirmation," Lunackova said.

The tested persons had returned from a stay in a partner school in neighbouring Bavaria last week.

A total of 30 people got in contact with pandemic flu during the trip, and already on their way home they received the necessary advice from a Czech specialist by phone.

The disease developed in some participants in the trip after their return home.

Over 300 people have caught swine flu, caused by the H1N1 virus, in the 10-million Czech Republic so far, including 32 residents of south Bohemia.

A 31-year-old woman died of swine flu in Karlovy Vary, west Bohemia, last week, being the first victim of the disease in the Czech Republic,

Ceske Budejovice is the centre of south Bohemia with 95,000 inhabitants.
