The man, the first A(H1N1) flu death case in Poland, was admitted to the contagious disease hospital in Gdansk on Thursday after being transferred from a hospital in the nearby locality of Puck.

To date 237 H1N1 flu cases have been reported in Poland, according to Chief Sanitary Inspectorate (GIS) officials.

In view of the rising H1N1 flu count, sanitary inspections have been ordained in schools in Gorzow, Gdansk, Lodz and Szczecin.

On Monday sanitary checks will start in the western province Lubuskie.  

More than 6,250 people have died worldwide since the H1N1 flu pandemic was first discovered in April in Mexico, according to the most recent World Health Organization data, with more than two- thirds of victims in the Americas.
