This is the first time for Indonesia to report A/H1N1 flu cases. The minister said that both patients were infected abroad.
The pilot visited Perth of Australia on June 16 and China's Hong Kong on June 18 and got medical treatment at Sulianti Saroso Hospital in Indonesia on June 19 because of having fever, Supari said.
The British woman visited Bali island on June 19, after visiting Melbourne of Australia, she said.
On June 20 she had fever, and cough, and she came to hospital by showing a health alert card obtained from Ngurah Rai airport in Bali and then she was treated at Sang Lah Hospital, the minister added.
"The two cases H1N1 are cases which come from overseas, it (the virus) has not spread in Indonesia," she told a press conference here.
To prevent the spread of the virus, the health ministry boosted precaution measures already taken nationwide, the minister said. Visitors from infected countries, such as Australia, would have special surveillance, the minister said.
The minister said that new steps would be taken such as intensifying communication among health authorities in the region and stepping up surveillance in Bali, where many visitors from Australia, which has been infected by the virus with 2,436 cases, are coming in.
"With our neighboring countries, communication would be intensified through telephone. Should a patient is found in a plane, (for example), it would be examined all the passenger in the three line vertical and horizontal," she said.
As the spread of the virus in Australia was high, the minister said that the authorities gave every visitor from the country a health alert card.
"Honestly, I worry about those coming from Australia. We take a special measure at surveillance post in Bali to prevent those coming from Australia for vacation to Bali bring the virus," she said.
"We boost our precaution at all level of health authorities, and step up preparedness on all health facilities at all hospitals, airports, laboratory, and others," Supari said.
Four Indonesians so far have been affected by the virus overseas. The ministry forbids them to return home before they were cleared from the disease, she said.

QUANG NINH — Bird flu has resurfaced in the country in northestern border Quang Ninh Province’s Yen Hung District and infected more than 500 poultry.
An additional 1,300 birds have been killed and disposed of to prevent disease spread according to regulations on epidemic disease prevention, said Hoang Van Nam, head of the Veterinary Department.
Deputy minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Diep Kinh Tan said the reason for the problem was the lack of disease prevention measures taken by some localities.
Tan directed the Veterinary Department to thoroughly handle the disease in Quang Ninh and to soon build a centre for quarantining poultry and cattle. He also asked localities nationwide to concentrate on vaccinating duck flocks, as they were highly susceptible to the spread of the flu.
As many as 154 million tonnes of poultry have been vaccinated so far.
No cases of foot and mouth disease or blue-ear pig disease have been found this week. —VNS
