Bulgaria reports first case of swine flu

The Bulgarian Food Safety Agency announced that seven infected animals were found on a farm in the village of Tutrakantsi in northeastern Bulgaria, and the tests confirmed the presence of the virus, Euronews reports.

Authorities have specified that all 23 pigs in the village will be culled, and a quarantine area will be set up around the village.
