Health officials are planning to open a community health centre in Auckland for dealing with swine flu, as the number of suspected cases continues to rise.
The Ministry of Health says there are now 104 people who are being tested for influenza A. If the results are positive, they will be tested for swine flu.
Health officials are discussing setting up a community clinical centre in Auckland, probably at Middlemore Hospital to help test and treat suspected cases.
Similar centres may be set up around the country as well.
The health minister says New Zealand's action plan is appropriate.
