KENTUCKY PUBLIC HEALTH ALERT

From 

Kentucky Department of Public Health

Kentucky Department of Emergency Services

The Kentucky Department of Public Health and Kentucky Department of
Emergency Services is now activating a statewide alert, to all at risk
populations.  The following is for immediate release.

The Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) is actively monitoring the
swine flu outbreak and is asking health care providers and public health
officials to be on the alert for potential cases of swine flu in Kentucky.
While no cases have yet been identified in Kentucky, DPH is asking that
physicians, hospitals, public health workers and other health care providers
submit samples from any patient testing positive for influenza A or that a
health care provider strongly suspects might be infected with swine flu to
the State Public Health Laboratory for further testing. 

DPH also asks that Kentuckians who may have traveled recently to Mexico or
affected areas, or who are planning such travel, be alert for the symptoms
of swine flu in the following ways:

1. Monitor yourself and travel companions for symptoms of fever, chills,
headache, sore throat, cough, body aches, and vomiting or diarrhea. 

2. If symptoms of influenza-like illness develop within seven days of travel
return, seek evaluation by a health care provider as soon as possible. 

3. Be sure to tell your health care provider about your recent travel and
suggest testing for influenza.

4. Stay home from work, school and other public places until you are feeling
well.

As always, DPH reminds individuals to take common sense precautions to
prevent illness, including: avoiding close contact with those who are ill;
staying home when sick; covering the mouth and nose when coughing or
sneezing; avoiding touching the eyes, nose or mouth; and frequent hand
washing.

Currently, there are approximately 40 confirmed cases of swine flu in the
U.S., a number that is expected to grow. The World Health Organization and
CDC have reported numerous human cases of a severe respiratory illness in at
least three different regions of Mexico. The number of cases has risen
steadily since the beginning of April 2009. Laboratory testing of patient
specimens has confirmed infections with swine influenza ("swine flu") A/H1N1
virus.  This is a newly emerging, animal-origin virus that is now being
spread from an infected person to another person.
