The Malaysian Health Ministry reported on Thursday that 11 more cases of flu A/H1N1 have been confirmed, raising the total cases in Malaysia to 91.

Malaysian Health Minister Liow Tiong Lai said the latest 11 cases include eight imported cases and three locally transmitted ones.

The imported cases were from Phuket in Thailand, Cyprus, Ireland, the Philippines and Australia.

A 19-month-old baby and two other kids aged at 6 and 9 years were among the new patients on Thursday.

Liow has urged Malaysian employers to allow seven days' unrecorded leave for staff who are placed under quarantine for the flu.
