Alberta has three new confirmed cases of swine flu, all mild, the province announced Thursday on the Alberta Health website.

Two of the three new cases involve male children from central Alberta who have no travel history. It is not clear what connection, if any, the two children have to each other.

The third case involves a woman in Edmonton who had travelled to Mexico.

With Thursday's announcement, Alberta has 33 confirmed cases of the H1N1 influenza A virus, which is believed to have originated in Mexico and has spread to several other countries since.
