The city has refused to release details on swine flu victims. The only information released on the two newest deaths was that they were people between the ages of 25 and 65.

As of June 23, the Health Department had recorded 804 hospitalizations and 32 deaths, according to its Web site.

A fifth Connecticut resident has died of swine flu.  The Department of Public Health says the patient,  who had underlying medical conditions,  was between  50  and  59 years of age and lived in Hartford County.
One other death has been reported in Hartford County,  and there have been three deaths in Waterbury,  including a six-year-old child.  In each case,  the patient had other health problems and had been hospitalized.
In all 824 cases of the H1N1 virus have been confirmed in Connecticut,  with  36  of those hospitalized.  Health authorities say the total number of cases is likely higher than that,  because those who suffer mild symptoms may never see a physician to be tested.
