The Florida Department of Health says the latest victims were a 55-year-old male from Duval County and a 25-year-old female from Palm Beach County.

Spokeswoman Susan Smith said Thursday no furthert information would be released.

Earlier this month, a 19-year-old Pennsylvania woman visiting Orlando died at a hospital from what health officials believe was related to swine flu. The Centers for Disease Control is listing that death as a Pennylvania swine flu death. Health officials say Florida has 1,781 confirmed cases of swine flu.

Three of the deaths were in Miami-Dade County, one was in Broward County and another one was in Seminole County in the Orlando area.
