As the number of confirmed cases of swine flu grow in Mexico and the southwest U-S — public health officials say there haven’t been any confirmed cases of the virus here in the province.
But — they are asking anyone who is sick enough to see their doctor and have just returned from those areas – to let the doctor know of their travel history so it can be determined if you need to be tested.
At the same time — public health says if you have just returned and are not sick – do not go to the hospital or clinic just because you have been travelling.
And as always — washing your hands frequently – covering your face when coughing or sneezing – and – staying home when ill will help reduce the spread of most viruses including the swine flu.
