According to the Health Protection Agency (HPA), UK, there were five new confirmed cases of swine flu (H1N1), bringing the total to 117. The HPA's laboratories carry out all testing of swine flu virus. The five new cases include two adults from London, two adults from South East England, and a child from the West Midlands. Two of them returned from a country where swine flu exists, while another is linked to a previously confirmed case in England - the sources of the other two are still being investigated, the HPA reported.
