British health authorities have confirmed two new cases of swine flu, bringing the country's total to 122.

The health ministry said Saturday that one of the cases is in London and the other in eastern England.

A ministry statement said attempts to contain the spread of swine flu by prescribing anti-viral drugs appeared to be working.

The Health Protection Agency said the source of infection for the two latest cases remains under investigation.

The virus has generally been mild in Britain and no one in the country has died from swine flu.
