Investigation of New York City Swine Flu Cluster Continues; Symptoms Remain Mild


The
Health Department announced that four days of close monitoring has yet
to show any increase in reports of severe respiratory illness in New
York City. The agency is investigating a cluster of illness at the St.
Francis Preparatory School in Queens, where 100 students missed classes
because of flu-like illness last week. Daily calls with hospitals and
monitoring of admissions have yet to suggest a wider or more severe
outbreak.
