Swine flu second wave worsensNewstalk ZB

There's been a sharp rise in cases of swine flu and the Health Ministry is expecting it to get worse.

Director of Public Health Dr Mark Jacobs says the country is in a second wave of a pandemic.

"There are just over 400 confirmed cases around the country and just under 200 people in hospital and those numbers are continuing to increase and it's still probably reasonably early days with this second wave."

Dr Jacobs says the swine flu has claimed two lives so far this year.
