More Georgia Swine Flu Cases Confirmed

A second teenage boy attending a private school in Henry County has tested positive for the H1/N1 virus, otherwise known as swine flu. Earlier this week, officials confirmed a 14-year-old boy at Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy had the virus. The Henry County school had planned to close for 2 weeks, but following the change on recommendations for closings by federal officials, the Christian Academy is set to re-open this morning. Meanwhile, state health officials say 2 members of the military in the Augusta-area likely have swine flu. If suspected cases are confirmed, it would bring to 7 the number of confirmed cases of H1/N1 in Georgia.
