April 29, 2009 Statement from Board of Health Chair Julia Patterson on suspected cases of swine flu in King County“Now is not the time to panic, but to use every day common sense precautions, like washing your hands regularly, covering your cough, and staying home from school or work when you are sick.
“Our public health department is one of the most prepared in the nation. They have prepared for the most severe form of this influenza, even though the cases thus far are more mild.
“I am confident that they are making every effort to reduce the spread, by educating those infected or at risk, and by keeping residents informed and protected.” |
