The Department of Health is confirming yet another case of the H1N1 virus. This brings the number of cases in the province to 10 since the outbreak began in April. Chief medical officer of health, Dr. Eilish Cleary, says the latest victim of the virus--also known as the swine flu-- is a woman in her 50's from the Fredericton area.
So far, none of the reported cases in New Brunswick have required hospitalization.
