Quebec is reporting another death related to swine flu, bringing the national total to 31.
The provincial Health Department said Thursday that a woman in her 60s who suffered from other medical problems has become the province's 13th victim to die of the H1N1 virus.
Sixty-two new cases of the virus have been confirmed by the Health Department in Quebec since June 30.
That brings the provincial total to 2,129.
The Health Department is reminding people that symptoms of swine flu are similar to the regular seasonal flu experienced every fall.
It adds that people experiencing severe symptoms such as trouble breathing and sore throats should see their doctor.
The current strain of H1N1 influenza A virus has been circulating in several countries including Canada since it first appeared in Mexico in April.
