Mexico's swine flu death toll rises to 44Associated Press - May 7, 2009 10:13 AM ET
MEXICO CITY (AP) - Mexico's health secretary says tests have confirmed two more deaths from swine flu, bringing the toll to 44.
Jose Angel Cordova says the two new deaths were a woman from the northern state of San Luis Potosi and a man from central Tlaxcala state.
He says they died a while ago but tests only just confirmed they had swine flu. He did not give a specific date for their deaths.
Cordova says 1,160 people have been sickened, up 90 from the previous confirmed number of cases. He said at a news conference Thursday that the number of new cases continues to decrease.
High schools and universities are reopening Thursday as Mexico gradually eases a nationwide shutdown designed to keep the swine flu outbreak from spreading.
