A health official says Norway has confirmed its first two cases of swine flu.

National Health Directorate spokeswoman Anne Kirkhusmo says a man and a woman, both aged 20, were infected.

The pair had been studying in Mexico, the epicenter of the swine flu outbreak. Kirkhusmo says they were doing well and had not been to hospital.

Two other Scandinavian countries, Sweden and Denmark, earlier confirmed one case each of swine flu.
