(10 minutes later) | |
A 19-year-old man has died after getting swine flu in London, health authorities have said. | |
London, where more than 1,900 people have contracted the disease, is the second worst-affected area in the UK. | |
The flu has left its mark in several schools, a West End store and Wimbledon, where 28 staff with flu-like symptoms were asked to stay away. | |
The man is the fourth person with swine flu to die in the UK. NHS London will give more details about the case later. | |
The death comes amid warnings that the number of cases in the UK could rise to 100,000 a day by the end of next month. |
