Health officials say two more Nebraskans who had the H1N1 virus have died.

A news release issued Friday by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services says an Adams County woman in her 70s and a Seward County woman in her 50s died after becoming sickened by the flu strain, also known as the H1N1 virus. Both women had underlying medical conditions.

Officials said they couldn't release more details, citing privacy laws.

Ten deaths with connections to the H1N1 flu have been reported in Nebraska.

Officials say most people have been able to recover at home from the flu strain without needing medical care.

Those who have trouble breathing or experience other serious complications are advised to consult a health care provider.
