The province has its first deaths related to the H1N1 virus, they are two men-one in his early sixties and the other in his seventies.
The Department of Health says testing has confirmed that both men had the H1N1 virus. Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Eilish Cleary says both men had an underlying condition that increased their risk of complications from the flu.
Health Minister Mary Schryer offered sympathies to the men's famillies for their loss.
Schryer said the deaths highlight how important it is for everyone to be vigilant and to protect ourselves and others.
