TORONTO - Ontario is now reporting 11 deaths associated with the swine flu for a national total of 30.
An 81-year-old Toronto woman and a 41-year-old Hamilton woman who had chronic health problems both tested positive for the virus.
Ministry of Health officials say the elderly woman had been in hospital in intensive care for some time.
Ontario now has more than 3,150 confirmed cases of H1N1 and 138 people have been hospitalized since the end of April.
The number of reported deaths of Canadians with swine flu, based on information from provincial health officials, was 30 on Tuesday.
Last week, Ontario changed the way it monitors and reports on swine flu, with the ministry updating both swine and seasonal flu activity across the province every Friday instead of daily.
