Five people on the island are still waiting for their test results

Two more people in Jersey suspected of having swine flu are being tested, the island's health authorities say.

The new suspected cases bring the number of people tested to seven. Two tests so far have come back negative.

Medical Officer of Health Dr Rosemary Geller said health staff were "continuing to monitor this rapidly changing situation."

A new website, www.gov.je/flu, has been set up and would be regularly updated, the States said.

A public information leaflet is being prepared and is to be delivered to every household next week.

Posters are also on display at the airport and ferry terminal.

A new helpline has also been set up on: 01534-445566.
