SEOUL (AFP) - South Korea Wednesday confirmed two more cases of swine flu, raising the country's total number of people infected with the virus to 29.
The new cases of A(H1N1) influenza infection were found in a 22-year-old Korean woman who arrived from Texas last week and in a South African teacher of English, a health ministry spokesman said.
The English teacher was from a language institute where a total of 19 teachers had been infected before Wednesday, he said.
Two Koreans were quarantined at an airport Wednesday after showing flu symptoms.
According to the latest tally by the World Health Organization, the virus has caused 92 deaths and infected 12,954 people in 46 countries since it was first uncovered last month.
