(AP) -- Georgia health officials say 27 cases of swine flu have now been confirmed in the state, up from 25 last week.

The state Department of Human Resources Division of Public Health said Wednesday the two latest patients are Henry County residents.  Health oficials say both patients have recovered, and neither required hospitalization.

The samples were tested by a private lab at the beginning of the month and later sent to the North Carolina state lab.
