Health officials say New York has 26 new cases of swine flu, bringing the total confirmed to 299.

Health Commissioner Richard Daines says Wednesday the new cases include nine in New York City, where the number stands at 201. The total outside the city rose to 98, with 13 cases in Nassau County, two in Rockland, and single cases in Westchester and Monroe counties.

Many cases of H1N1 virus infection have been mild, with symptoms resembling seasonal flu — fever, cough, sore throat, body aches and chills. But a New York City public school administrator died Sunday of the infection.
