HTN: First H1N1 Case in Erie County

Erie County has its first confirmed case of swine flu. The County Health Department says a middle school student in the Williamsville School District caught the disease. However, the virus has been mild and the Transit Middle School case is no exception. The only other instance of swine flu in Western New York was in the Bemus Point Central School District in Chautauqua County. After recent school closings, health officials say one case will not be enough to shutter an entire school or district. Officials remind everyone to wash their hands and stay home if they feel sick.
