Swine Flu Confirmed in Henry County
(2009-05-04)
(WABE) - s of right now the 14-year old boy from Henry County is reportedly at home and doing well.

But as a precaution the boy's school---Eagle's Landing Christian Academy is closed for 14 days.

The state Division of Public Health acting director-- Dr. Elizabeth Ford says it's not clear how the boy contracted the virus:

((they have no history of travel but do have some association with a group that traveled to Panama some weeks ago)

Three other cases are currently being tested...a 3 year-old boy from Cobb County, a 36 year old pregnant DeKalb woman and an 8 year old-girl from Clayton.

Again Dr. Ford:

((we were expecting to have an increase))

Dr. Ford says all of the patients are in voluntarily isolation in their homes.
