The number of people suffering from the potentially deadly H1N1 virus in West Essex has risen to six, it has been confirmed today.
In May, The Guardian reported that a couple from North Weald in their 30's had contracted the potentially fatal disease following a business trip to the states.
NHS West Essex have declined to release any further details about the carriers of the highly-infectious disease, which is thought to have killed 332 people worldwide.
