Another Albertan hospitalized after testing positive for H1N1

Another person has been hospitalized in Alberta after testing positive for swine flu.

EDMONTON — Another person has been hospitalized in Alberta after testing positive for swine flu.

Provincial health officials say the woman, from southern Alberta, had travelled to Mexico.

The province also reported five other new cases of the illness, but they are all mild.

That brings the total number of cases in Alberta to 67.

Earlier this month, health officials confirmed that a girl had been admitted to an Edmonton hospital with the illness.

A northern Alberta woman is the only Canadian who has died after testing positive, although health officials have said she also had other medical conditions.
