Possible Swine Flu Case in Orlando Reported

Doctors at an Orlando hospital may have found the first case of swine flu in Florida. The vice president of Florida Hospital, Dr. Scott Brady, said testing is still needed to confirm the case as the swine flu.

State Health Department spokesperson Susan Smith echoed Brady’s statement on testing saying, “Confirmation of positive tests of swine flu will come from Department of Health labs and the Centers of Disease Control,” Smith said in a statement.

The person believed to be infected with the new strain of virus is a tourist from Mexico who visited Disney attractions over the weekend.

An outbreak of swine flu has killed at least 150 people in Mexico. Mexican officials have shut down schools and warned residents to stay away from crowded areas to try to control the spreading of swine flu.

Eight cases were confirmed in New York City Monday while others have been confirmed in Canada, Spain, Israel and New Zealand. Read more on the swine flu
