The number of H1N1 swine flu

The number of H1N1 swine flu cases is up by 20 from Friday's total.

There are now 2,250 confirmed cases in New Zealand.

The National Health Coordination Centre says the actual number of cases will be significantly higher, as only a small proportion of people with symptoms is being tested.

This is because for most people, it is a mild illness and they will recover readily at home without needing medical treatment.

The number of New Zealand deaths from swine flu remains at 10.
