    Seoul (AsiaNews/Agencies) ? South Korean authorities confirmed a third swine flu case, involving a 62-year-old woman who returned from the United States on the same flight as Seoul's first confirmed patient, a nun. The second case of influenza A (H1N1) was that of another nun, who picked up her fellow sister at the airport.

    As a consequence South Korea has stepped up its inspections of inbound travellers, announcing plans to stockpile enough Tamiflu and other anti-influenza drugs to treat five million people.
