 New Brunswick's chief medical officer of health says while a few people have displayed flu-like symptoms, there are no confirmed cases of swine flu in the province.
    Doctor Eilish Cleary says samples from just a handful of people have been sent to the national laboratory in Winnipeg.
    Cleary says those people had recently travelled to Mexico, but adds she'd be surprised not to be seeing some people sick after returning from their spring trips there.
    She says there's no pandemic, and the swine flu cases in Canada and the United States have been very mild.
    So far, the only known cases in Atlantic Canada involve four teenagers from King's-Edgehill School in Windsor, Nova Scotia.
