Swine Flu Pedia

The number of cases of swine flu in the UK has passed the 100 mark as 14 more people are diagnosed with the virus.

The Health Protection Agency said six adults and eight children were among the latest cases in London, the south east and the east of England.

Eleven of the latest cases involve patients who were contacts of previously confirmed cases, while two were returning travellers.

The source of infection for the other person remains under investigation.

Tests on the virus have suggested the strain is less virulent than first feared and the World Health Organisation is not recommending any global travel restrictions.

In Mexico more than 60 people have died as a result of the H1N1 virus, with most cases reported in Mexico City.

Around the world, 39 countries have reported more than 8,400 cases of infection.
