COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio health officials say five new swine flu cases have brought the state's total to 23.

Officials in Springfield say two of the new cases are associated with a middle school where there was one other confirmed case.

Clark County Combined Health District spokeswoman Anita Bales said Thursday that the cases include those of a student and a staff member at Northridge Middle School. Both are recovering at home.

Parents of children at the school are worried.

"Well, originally I wasn't too worried about it, but now that there is two more confirmed cases I'm a little bit more nervous," said Joy Espinosa.

Joy is not alone. Hundreds of kids were kept home this week, even though the school remains open.

A school in the northwest part of the state has also detected a H1N1 case. In Toledo, health officials confirmed that a 14-year-old middle school student has swine flu.

The other two new cases are in Knox and Franklin counties.

Butler County 1 (30-year-old male)
