A SECOND case of swine flu has been confirmed in North Yorkshire - just days after the first case came to light.
The latest diagnosis involves a teenage boy in Hambleton - the same area where a woman tested positive for the virus at the weekend.
However any connection between the two has been ruled out and instead the case is linked to the outbreak at public school Eton in Berkshire.
At least five cases of swine flu have been confirmed at the school and around 30 possible cases are being investigated.
