The official number of confirmed swine flu cases in New Zealand has increased by two.

They are a member of the original Rangitoto College party that visited Mexico last month and a passenger on the flight that they arrived home on.

Both have been treated and are fully recovered.

Their positive tests bring the number of confirmed cases reported in this country in the past four weeks to nine.

The number of probable cases is ten and there are another 40 suspected cases.

Most have been treated and are fully over the virus.

Just nine people are currently in isolation.
