墨西哥当局说，墨西哥目前证实的感染甲型H1N1流感病毒的病例超过1000例，其中包括42个死亡病例。
墨西哥卫生部长科尔多瓦星期三宣布死亡病例增加，同时墨西哥的商家贻d始重新营业，因为官员此前表示也被称为猪流感的甲型H1N1流感的蔓延看来更加缓慢。
新的数字使得全世界被证实死于甲型H1N1流感的病例增至44例。墨西哥以外的两个死亡病例在相邻的美国德克萨斯州。
其中一人是星期一去世的33岁美国妇女。有关官员说，她还有其它的慢性病。另一个在美国的死亡病例是一名墨西哥男童，他上星期在德州一家医院死亡。
Mexican authorities say there have been 42 deaths in the country from the swine influenza A-H1N1 virus, out of more than 1,000 confirmed cases.
Mexico’s health secretary (Jose Angel Cordova) announced the higher death toll Wednesday, as businesses began reopening after officials said the flu there appeared to be spreading more slowly.
The new figure brings the number of confirmed swine flu deaths worldwide to 44. The two deaths outside of Mexico occurred in the U.S. state of Texas, which borders Mexico.
One of the victims was a 33-year-old American woman, who died Monday. Officials say she had chronic health problems. The other fatality in the U.S. was a Mexican toddler who died in a Texas hospital last week.
