SINGAPORE: Singapore has confirmed another 26 new H1N1 cases, bringing the total number of infections to 194.

10 of the new cases are local transmissions.
Of these, four are from the Butter factory cluster, a popular night spot.

The rest are unlinked cases infected from those who had travelled overseas.

The Health Ministry said those who are planning to travel should check its website for the latest update on the list of countries with confirmed cases and/or exported H1N1 cases so that they can make considered decisions on whether to proceed with their travel plans.
