File - People wear masks as they stand outside the Houses of Parliament in London, in this Monday, May 11, 2009 file photo, when British health officials confirmed seven new cases of swine flu, bringing the then national total to 55. British health authorities have confirmed three new cases of swine flu, bringing the country's total to 112. The Health Protection Agency said Thursday May 21 2009 that the new cases are all children living in the West Midlands. The children had all recently returned from an affected area in the U.S. The authority did not say where in the U.S. the children had visited. The virus in Britain has generally been mild and no one has died from swine flu in the country. Britain has relaxed its advice against travel to Mexico. But the Foreign Office Web site warns that parts of Mexico and the U.S. are still affected by the virus.
