Three more people, all returning from New York, the United States, were confirmed to have been infected by the A/H1N1 flu virus in Finland, local media reported on Monday.

One of those infected is the father of two children who were infected over the weekend. The family returned to Helsinki from New York last Friday.

The other two cases were found in eastern Finland, one man in the city of Joensuu and the other in the city of Lappeenranta. Both had returned from New York last week.

A total of 10 A/H1N1 cases have now been confirmed in Finland.

All travelers, especially those from New York, are recommended to undergo a week of self-observation, and contact health centers if necessary.
