SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Utah health officials are reporting one new swine flu-related death in the state.

The total number of H1N1-related deaths is now 28 this flu season.

The latest death was a woman in Tooele County between the ages of 50 and 64. Utah Department of Health officials said Wednesday she died in November but her death was not added to the statewide tally until last week.

Health officials says influenza is currently circulating at a level that's typical for what's seen during regular flu seasons.

The health department also says there have been 889 hospitalizations due to both the seasonal flu and swine flu reported this influenza season. That's two more than were reported last week.
