Hondura's Health Minister Carlos Aguilar told media on Sunday the nation had confirmed 24 new cases of the A/H1N1 flu, bringing the country's total to 56 with 100 more cases to be confirmed.

Aguilar said that the patients were recovering well, not a single one had to be hospitalized, and the majority had returned to their normal activities.

Aguilar said that the nation has a stockpile of over 20,000 anti-viral treatments and no one would go without the flu treatment if needed.

The nation reported its first flu case of a 9-year-old girl on May 21. The second was on May 28, in which a 35-year-old man arrived in Tegucigalpa, after being deported from the US city of Florida.
