Three more people were diagnosed with swine flu today, bringing to eight the total number to have tested positive for the virus in Britain, health officials said.

Two of the new cases are from the London area and one is from northeast England. All have mild symptoms and are responding well to treatment at home. All three had recently come back from Mexico, where the virus originated.

Those who have come into contact with them have been offered antiviral drugs, officials said.
