Provincial public health officials say there haven't been any confirmed cases of the swine flue reported. But the province's chief medical health officer says they are closely monitoring the situation here. Public health is asking if you are sick enough to see your doctor and have just returned from Mexico or the southwestern U-S to make sure you let your doctor know. 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.
