The Ohio Department of Health and Local Health Departments are working with health care providers and hospitals around the state to determine if there are other cases of swine flu.  As of today, April 28, 2009, there has been 1 confirmed case in the state.  According to recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  (CDC), all health care providers who see patients with flu-like symptoms and learn that the patient traveled to Mexico, affected counties in Southern California or Texas during the 7 days preceding their illness onset, should have nasal swab samples from the patient tested.
