Mexico's flu death toll rises to 70

Mexico City - Two new laboratory test results brought to 70 the number of dead in Mexico connected to the A(H1N1) influenza virus, the so-called swine flu, and confirmed a total of 3,646 infections, the Mexican Health Ministry said Monday. The authorities said in a statement that the number of new infections 'continues to fall' by the day. 'We currently have 70 confirmed deaths, and only in six of those cases did the start of the symptoms take place after April 23,' the Health Ministry said. On April 23, Mexico acknowledged the presence of a hitherto unknown flu virus and launched a series of aggressive measures to combat the spread of a disease, including the suspension of school lessons and mass events. Many of the restrictions have since been lifted.
