SINGAPORE'S 12th confirmed H1N1 flu patient travelled on the MRT to see a general practitioner on Wednesday morning.

He was accompanied by a family member and travelled to the clinic from his sister's home, where he had been staying since checking out of a hotel, according to a Ministry of Health update issued on Friday night.

The 18-year-old Singaporean had returned late on Monday on Emirates Flight EK405 from Melbourne. Although he developed symptoms on May 30, he passed thermal scanners at Changi Airport because he did not have a fever then.
