RENO (AP) " Washoe County health officials have confirmed another eight cases of swine flu, raising the county's total to 71 and the statewide total to more than 100.
Details on the eight new cases confirmed Friday have not been released. One of the new cases on Thursday was another student at Mendive Middle School in Sparks, bringing that school's total number of cases to 36.
Mendive was closed for two days last week but reopened Tuesday. District officials have said they have no plans for additional closures but urge parents to keep students home if they exhibit flu-like symptoms.
Most of the cases statewide involve school-age children.
