OTTAWA (AFP) — Health officials in Canada on Monday confirmed 40 new cases of swine flu, bringing the total number across the country to 331.
Thirty-four of the new cases were found in Ontario, the nation's most populous province, which now has had a total of 110 cases since the start of the outbreak.
The remaining cases, most of them mild, are scattered around the vast country, including two new cases in Quebec and three in Alberta -- where the only Canadian death from the virus was confirmed by authorities last week.
Health officials reported that to date, there have been 79 swine flu cases in British Columbia, on the Pacific coast; 57 in Nova Scotia on the Atlantic coast; 52 in Alberta; 17 in Quebec; 10 in Saskatchewan; three on Prince Edward Island; two in New Brunswick and one in Manitoba.
