Tests Sunday revealed that a pregnant woman had died of swine flu.
The woman, who was eight months pregnant, died at a hospital in Riyaq.
Health Minister Mohammed Jawad Khalife urged pregnant women to "worry" about swine flu.
In an interview with the Voice of Lebanon radio station, Khalife said the severity of the flu in Lebanon did not so far lead to serious situations in classrooms.
Khalife, however, accused both parents and schools of "negligence."
He blamed "parents who send their children to school although they have symptoms of the virus, and at the same time, schools that receive children with these cases.'
