The number of confirmed cases of the new virus remains at five.
The fear over the new flu, a combination of swine, bird and human flus, has calmed since it was first discovered. As scientists studied the illness, officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention discovered it was no more virulent the regular seasonal flu.
