Illinois is home to 90 probable cases of swine flu, including 29 in Chicago, state public health officials say. 

That's up from 54 cases on Friday. Of the nine confirmed cases in Illinois, five are in Chicago, according to data updated this morning.

Chicago Public Schools continue to monitor the virus, which closed Kilmer Elementary School in Rogers Park last week due to swine flu. That school remains closed until further notice.
