New Zealand was holding its breath wondering whether a Rangitoto College party returned from Mexico might have brought the flu. Ten members of the group had tested positive for some form of influenza. After testing, it became clear that New Zealand was the first Southern Hemisphere country to have confirmed 2009 Influenza A(H1N1).

By early June, 11 cases had been confirmed. All had recovered and had not had a serious illness.
