A 67-year-old woman, with no underlying health problems, has died from the H1N1 flu in Auckland.

Her death brings the total attributed to swine flu to 18. However, the Coroner is still investigating a number of other deaths.

The number of cases has fallen dramatically with only two officially confirmed new cases in the past week.

Only two people are currently in hospital with the H1N1 flu.
