TALLAHASSEE - Florida's Department of Health says the state is monitoring nine probable cases of swine flu, in addition to two confirmed cases.

The state confirmed Friday its first two cases of swine flu: a 17-year-old girl from Broward County and an 11-year-old boy from Lee County.

The number of probable cases is up one from Friday. The state's surgeon general says she hopes to hear more about those cases later Saturday.

The nine individuals range in age from 7 to 75; five are male and four are female. They are in eight counties: Lee, Orange, Indian River, Alachua, Pinellas, Okeechobee, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach.

Officials say a hot line set up to take questions has received more than 700 calls. The number is: 1-800-342-3557.
