The state of Chihuahua officially informed the public last night that four cases of AH1N1 Swine Flu--the first on record in the state--have been confirmed in the state, two in Chihuahua and two in Cd. Juarez. In all cases the patients are under care and are expected to recover fully. Authorities asserted that since current treatment procedures are highly effective, persons with symptoms of the swine flu--sudden fever, muscular pain especially in the back, irritated throat, cough, and fatigue--should call medical officials immediately to begin treatment and to assure that the disease will not spread.
