SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Utah Department of Health is reporting another death related to the swine flu.
The total number of reported H1N1-related deaths this flu season is now 26.
The department says 865 people have been hospitalized due to swine flu and seasonal flu this season. That's four more than were reported the week before.
The department says the influenza-like illness rate is "substantially" above normal.
The report was issued on Wednesday for the week of Dec. 20-26. Officials say flu incidents are probably being underreported because of the holidays.
