BOSTON—State health officials say they've confirmed seven new cases of swine flu in Massachusetts, bringing the total number of cases in the state to 88.
One of the newly confirmed cases required hospitalization, but the person has since been discharged.
All of the new cases are expected to fully recover.
The new total removes two cases that were previously counted in Massachusetts, but are now being counted in Rhode Island and Connecticut.
Since there's no vaccine for swine flu, officials continue to urge residents to take simple preventative steps, such as frequent hand washing and staying home from work if you are sick.
