Swine flu in the UK is being confined, contained and treated effectively, Health Secretary Alan Johnson has said.

However Mr Johnson said it was likely there would still be more cases and there was the possibility of a second wave in the autumn or winter.

The advice was followed by news that the number of confirmed cases of swine flu in the UK has risen to 18.
