"No case has been reported in any part of the country," Director General of Health Ministry Abdur Rasheed Juma said at a news conference in Islamabad.

Juma said all airports have been asked to screen passengers entering Pakistan, and some 200 passengers, who arrived from Toronto in the eastern city of Lahore, were screened at the airport.

"The Health Ministry is cognizant of the risk posed to human health as a result of reported cases and fatalities associated with swine flu in Mexico, the United States, Canada and parts of Europe," Juma said.
