Northern Ireland : 14th swine flu death in NI

Via UTV News :

" Another person has died of swine flu in Northern Ireland, bringing the total number of deaths since November 2010 to 14.

The Public Health Agency confirmed the death on Sunday.

Last week, the health watchdog revealed that 13 people, including a seven-year-old, had died after contracting the deadly H1N1 strain; ten of whom had underlying health problems.
Thirty-two people now remain in intensive care.

Despite growing concern that the country is reaching pandemic levels, the PHA says that the current pattern of swine flu in Northern Ireland is no different to that in the rest of the UK."
