Johor Women, Family, Community Development and Health committee chairman Dr Robiah Kosai said the student had been in Melbourne for the last six months.
She said the girl’s parents and two siblings had fetched her from the airport on a Johor Baru-Singapore taxi.
“The student did not show any symptoms of fever or influenza when she entered the countries (Singapore and Malaysia) but developed the symptoms when she arrived home in Johor Baru,” she said, adding that she tested positive on the night of June 23.
She added that the student was being treated at Hospital Sultanah Aminah while her family members are quarantined at home for a week.
“The 36-year-old taxi driver and his family are also quarantined at home for a week,” she said at a press conference adding that the staff from the Health Department would monitor their condition.
Dr Robiah said the student’s 16-year-old brother and sister, 17, are studying at Sekolah Datuk Jaafar and SMK Infant Jesus Convent respectively.

HELLO NST, GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT. ITS THE STUDENT'S SISTER WHO GOT H1N1.
Was hoping for the school to be closed for one week but sadly no. Only the 4 Science 3 students who came in contact with the girl.
Lined up early in the field to get our temperatures checked and a chop to certify we're normal followed by temperature check again before recess.
Masks were grabbed from the sickbay, all looked like some nurses and the black ones, mafias. Hand sanitizers before and after meals. Emergency meeting every few hours for the teachers, lessons disrupted. Woots!
Reporters grabbing their every chance to interview and get hold of a picture.
Masks people!
Credits to Wenli for chopping off half of my face.
