Verbier, Valais, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - An international camp in Verbier has 14 confirmed cases of A/H1N1 among its students, ages 8-18, and another 20 students are being tested. Those who are sick have been isolated and are being given medical care, says the public health department in Valais, but none of the students are a cause for worry.

The outbreak follows the weekend announcement that 27 out of 35 young people at a summer camp in Megève, France, not far from Geneva, were diagnosed with the A/HaN1. The group is well on the road to recovery, according to local health authorities. Tamiflu has not been given to the patients in the French summer camp, nor in Verbier.
