THE number of Australians being tested for swine flu has been revised down to 91, a health official said.

A spokeswoman for Nicola Roxon said this morning 91 people displaying flu symptoms were being checked for the potentially deadly virus.

"It's a constantly changing number, so as people are cleared they go off the list," the spokeswoman said.

So far there have been no confirmed cases of the virus in Australia.

Swine flu is believed to have claimed more than 150 lives in Mexico.

Eleven New Zealanders were being treated for the disease, with three of those cases confirmed yesterday as swine flu.
