Iceland has stocks of Tamiflu and Relenza for one-third of its population.

In a risk assessment made by the Icelandic government in 2008 in case of an influenza pandemic two scenarios are envisioned:

• A worst-case scenario where 50% of the Icelandic population are infected and 3% of the infected population die.
• A milder scenario where precautionary measures prevent infection, 25% of the Icelandic population are infected and 1% die.{{Cite web|url=http://www.influensa.is/lisalib/getfile.aspx?itemid=3515 |title=Heimsfaraldur inflúensu Landsáætlun |year=2008 |access-date=1 May 2009| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090429174730/http://www.influensa.is/lisalib/getfile.aspx?itemid=3515| archive-date= 29 April 2009| url-status= live}}

The man, who is originally from Bratislava in Slovakia, was admitted to hospital late last week. He has been working in Ireland for several years.

Around 1,500 people visited GPs last week with suspected swine flu, three times more than the most recent figures released.

Director of the Health Protection Surveillance Centre Dr Darina O'Flanagan said the figure was included in the latest data from the Irish College of General Practitioners.

It represents 37 people per 100,000 and is three times more than figures released yesterday by the Department of Health.

The department said laboratory tests have confirmed 278 cases of the H1N1 virus have been reported but the actual number exceeds that total as family doctors report an increase in the number of cases they have been diagnosing in recent weeks.

Two patients who contracted human swine flu (H1N1) are still being treated in intensive care units.

Chief Medical Officer Tony Holohan said that the HSE expects some deaths from the virus, and further hospitalisations, over the coming weeks and months.

Dr Holohan said 12 people have been hospitalised so far.

A man in his 30s, who was admitted to St James's Hospital last week, remains 'critically ill' with the virus.

It is believed the man, who is originally from Bratislava in Slovakia, contracted the virus abroad. He has been living in Ireland for several years.

The hospital said that all necessary precautions were being taken and that the Health Service Executive and the Department of Health were being fully informed.{{cite news |url=http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/0729/swineflu.html |title=RTE.ie |publisher=RTE.ie |date=29 July 2009 |access-date=27 August 2010 |archive-date=22 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022161328/http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/0729/swineflu.html |url-status=live }}
