With the last one in Osaka Prefecture resuming classes on Monday, all the schools in Japan's flu-hit Kansai region reopened on Monday.

The Kansai Okura Junior & Senior High School in Ibaraki, Osaka Prefecture, reopened Monday after two weeks of closure as more than 100 of its students were infected with A/H1N1 influenza strain.

The school authorities said all the students have recovered by Monday.

The students are believed to have been infected through inter-school contacts with a school in the neighboring Hyogo Prefecture.

The total number of new-flu infections in Japan stood at 379, largely in Osaka and Hyogo prefectures in western Japan. The new infections have been subsiding in the two prefectures.

Two other privately run schools in Hyogo Prefecture also reopened Monday.

More than 4,000 schools in Kansai region closed due to the new flu, with most of them already reopening last week.
