UK reports its first swine flu death
LONDON (AP) – A person with underlying health conditions died of swine flu in Scotland on Sunday – the first reported death from the illness outside the Americas, health officials said.
Britain has been harder hit by the virus – known as H1N1- than elsewhere in Europe. Earlier Sunday, Britain had reported another 61 cases of swine flu, bringing the U.K. total to 1,226 cases.
