MEXICO CITY, May 13 (Reuters) - Mexico's H1N1 flu outbreak is infecting fewer people and will likely cause no more than 100 deaths in the country, Health Minister Jose Angel Cordova said on Wednesday. Cordova told Reuters that Mexican hospitals were seeing fewer cases of the virus, also known as swine flu, in recent days. Mexico has confirmed 60 deaths from the virus, which has spread throughout the world, and additional fatalities could come from people already in serious condition in hospital. Close to 30 percent of those who died were suffering diabetes or complications from obesity, he said. (Reporting by Mica Rosenberg and Miguel Angel Gutierrez, editing by Jackie Frank)
