Oct. 22 (Bloomberg) -- The number of new swine flu cases in England almost doubled in the past week to 53,000 from 27,000 the previous week, the country’s top doctor said today.
The H1N1 virus that causes swine flu has killed 122 people in the U.K., up 16 in the last week, since April, England’s Chief Medical Officer Liam Donaldson said at a press conference. The number of people hospitalized with the illness rose to 506, including 99 in intensive care, the highest level since the pandemic began, Donaldson said.
“Over the last week we’ve seen a faster rate of increase than we’ve seen in the last few weeks,” Donaldson said.
