A UNIVERSITY student who became the first confirmed case of swine flu in Hampshire has made a full recovery.
The University of Southampton student was given the all clear by doctors yesterday and is no longer in isolation.
A university spokesman said the student did not pose a threat to staff and other students and would be able to sit his exams as planned.
“We can confirm that the student who was diagnosed with a case of swine flu has made a full recovery,” the spokesman said.
The man tested positive for the potentially deadly virus A/H1N1 on Friday after returning from a recent holiday in Washington DC. He was placed in isolation at his home in Southampton and given a course of the anti-viral Tamiflu.
Hampshire Primary Care Trust said no other workplaces or schools were affected.
A Health Protection Agency spokesman last night said there were no new cases of swine flu in the county.
