WASHINGTON (AFP) — Tests show that a total of three US Marines have fallen ill with swine flu in California, the corps said on Friday.
Two new cases were reported Friday at Camp Pendleton base outside San Diego as the US military said it was closely monitoring the situation to protect the health of its troops, who often live in close quarters.
"Two service members at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton have been confirmed with H1N1 flu virus," said a statement from the base.
"The service members are isolated and are being treated as outpatients. Both individuals are recovering and no additional personnel have been quarantined," it said.
On Wednesday, the military reported the first confirmed case of the flu at another marine base in southern California, Twentynine Palms.
