Some 265 new cases of swine flu have been reported in just 72 hours in Canada, bringing the total number of those infected with the deadly virus to 1,795.

The province of Ontario added 179 new cases of swine flu infection, bringing the total to 894, which is by far the most number of cases reported in one province.

The new cases were reported on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to Public Health Agency of Canada.

The infection has been reported in nine provinces and three territories leaving only one province -- Newfoundland and Labrador -- uninfected in the country.

The A (H1N1) flu has already been confirmed in 66 countries and the number of swine flu cases worldwide has reached 19,273, WHO reported.

So far 117 deaths, as a result of the virus, have been confirmed globally -- most of them in Mexico. Canada has only confirmed three deaths.
