The Northwestern Health Unit has confirmed two new cases of the H-1-N-1 virus in this region.
That brings the number to three of confirmed cases in this region.
Medical officer of health, Dr. Jim Arthurs says they still don't know how the virus made it into northwestern Ontario.
"What we do know is that there has not travel to Mexico," says James, "but we've had several weeks of person to person spread within Ontario and obviously across Canada. That's not concerning. The puzzle is where is come from into the Northwestern Health Unit area and we don't know that yet."
Arthurs says all three people who came down with the virus have since recovered, and their symptoms were considered mild.
