WCBSTV Reports Swine Flu in Manhattan; MyFoxNY Reports 5 Probable Cases In NJ


ywbn17.gifNew Jersey health officials say they have identified five probable cases of swine flu in people who recently traveled to Mexico and California.

The New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services said Monday that all have mild forms of the flu and none has been hospitalized.

The department says it is arranging for confirmatory testing at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In addition, CBS 2 HD is reporting about a confirmed case of swine flu at the Ernst & Young headquarters in Times Square.

One of the staffers became ill over the weekend after coming into contact with a family member who had been exposed to the virus.

The staffer is said to be resting at home and the company believes, due to the virus’ 24-hour incubation period, that no one else at Ernst & Young was exposed.

Earlier Monday, Mayor Michael Bloomberg confirmed 20 new cases of swine flu in New York City, in addition to the eight that were confirmed over the weekend. It is not known if the Ernst & Young case is related to the outbreak at St. Francis Prep in Queens, where several students had recently traveled to Mexico.
