Swine Flu Nevada

Nevada state health officials confirmed Monday that no known cases of Swine Flu exist in the silver state.

The announcement was made in the state capitol during a news conference attended by Governor Jim Gibbons, Nevada Department of Health and Human Services Director Mike Willden, State Health Officer Dr. Mary Guinan, Nevada Highway Patrol Colonel Chris Perry and others.

Officials went on to say, just like every other state, Nevada will be bringing in medication from the federal strategic stockpile as a precautionary measure, and they outlined ways citizens can protect themselves against getting sick.

Officials held the conference at the Nevada State Emergency Operations Center, on 2478 Fairview Drive, at 12:30 p.m.

A Washoe County health worker echoed Sunday what the state officials said today, while she urged the public to stay calm.

"We're just telling people right now be on heightened alert," said Judy Davis of Washoe County District Health Department, on Sunday. "Be a little more aware of what's happening, and we will certainly keep people updated as things develop...if they develop locally."
