OK Swine Flu Cases Now at Four

Last Update: 5/07 9:54 pm

Print Story |

The State Health Department says keep washing your hands. There are three more cases of Swine Flu confirmed in Oklahoma. That brings the state's total to four. Two of the new cases were in Cleveland County, the other was in Oklahoma County.

One of the cases was confirmed in a student at Deer Creek Schools in Edmond. School officials there are alerting parents on their website about the precautions they may take. The three new cases recovered without having to go to the hospital. Even so, the CDC expects that more cases, more hospitalizations and more deaths from this outbreak will occur over the coming days and weeks.

The centers for disease control recommends coughing into your elbow, avoiding touching your eyes, nose and mouth, and staying home if you’re sick.

The CDC says only about 10% of the cases of Swine Flu can be linked to Mexico. The agency is working on a vaccine for the virus. In the meantime, it is sending testing kits to health agencies all over the world.

Right now, the number of confirmed cases here in the US stands at nearly 900. A memo to Williams Tower employees in Tulsa emphasized extra cleaning procedures at the building's common areas and information on preventing Swine Flu.
