Governor: No known swine flu cases here

“I hope everyone got a good night’s sleep. Just another typical evening,” the Governor began.

First: An update on swine flu. She said there are no known cases in Washington state. “There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for the people of this state to panic. But, we all need to be vigilant,” she said. Wash your hands and, if you have flu-like symptoms, stay home. She said the federal public health emergency is in place, and the state will be receiving antiviral medication.

“It cannot prevent the swine flu, but medication is used in the cases we find. A lot of people have asked Mary, Is this a vaccine? It is not.”
