Initial testing on Wednesday had shown that the two, the one-year old son and the father of a 30 year-old woman whose infection with the virus was confirmed Wednesday, had been contaminated but final test results were expected Thursday.

Bazac said all three, along with the woman’s other child, are currently committed to the infectious diseases hospital ‘Matei Bals’ in Bucharest.

The second child didn’t test positive for the AH1N1 virus, the minister said.

The woman no longer has the symptoms of the illness, but will remain in the hospital under surveillance.
