Illinois Logs Nine Probable Cases of Swine Flu
CHICAGO (AP) - The head of the Illinois Department of Public Health says the state has logged nine probable cases of swine flu, all in northern Illinois.
Dr. Damon Arnold says five of the probable cases are in Chicago, while two are in Kane County and single cases are being reported in both Lake and DuPage counties. The people diagnosed range in age from 2 to 57. Arnold says all of the cases so far have been mild and nobody has been hospitalized. Arnold appeared at a news conference Wednesday called in the wake of Chicago's decision to close an elementary school after one student there was found to have a probable case of swine flu. Arnold, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, Gov. Pat Quinn and other officials all stressed that the state is working hard to prevent further illnesses. |
