Russia's confirmed A/H1N1 flu cases have risen to 10 after one new case was registered in southwestern Siberia, the RIA Novosti news agency reported on Saturday.

The new patient, a 14-year-old girl from the Tomsk region, contracted the flu virus on a trip to Britain, a source with the regional administration said.

Russia's chief sanitary official, Gennady Onishchenko, said on Friday that all patients diagnosed with the flu were those who had returned to Russia from holidays or business trips abroad.

Onishchenko said none of them were in a serious condition.
