State health officials say the number of swine flu cases in Illinois has increased to more than 3,300.
There have been 15 deaths in the state from the virus, according to new numbers released Friday by the Illinois Public Health Department.
Three counties are reporting their first cases: Effingham and Fayette counties in south-central Illinois and Henry County in northwestern Illinois. Since April, Illinois has seen 3,357 probable and confirmed cases in 37 counties.
This week's tally rose from last week's by 98 cases. The state expects to receive $11.5 million in grants from the federal government to prepare for both seasonal and swine flu this fall. Chicago will get separate grants totaling nearly $3.3 million.
