WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The new H1N1 swine flu has now infected 286 people in 36 states, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Monday.

CDC officials have said they expect to see more cases as the flu spreads across the country. Most cases remain mild but a toddler died in Texas last week. In Mexico officials say they hope cases will continue to decline.
