With seven confirmed cases reported in Osaka, Hyogo and Chiba prefectures, Japan's A/H1N1 patients totalled 377 in 11 prefectures on Saturday.

In Hyogo Prefecture, Kobe High School and Hyogo High School, with 17 and 43 confirmed cases of the new flu respectively, reopened Saturday and will resume classes on Monday following a two-week closure.

The prefectural authorities said that the move came as no new H1N1 cases have been found at the two schools and Kobe High School and Hyogo High School since May 21 and all those infected with the new flu at the two schools have recovered.

All public high schools in Hyogo Prefecture have thus reopened by Saturday.
