    Abu Dhabi: The UAE Ministry of Health announced on Tuesday the sixth case of flu H1N1 of a national woman arriving from abroad with her family.

    "The condition of the infected woman and child, who are now receiving necessary treatment at the hospital, is stable," a ministry statement said, affirming that all members of the women's family "are safe" as she didn't contract the infection to anyone of them.

    It added that the fifth case which was reported few days ago had completely recovered and left the hospital.

    The ministry noted that many infected countries including the US and Mexico had announced a decline in reported cases of flu H1N1.
