Because this child is no longer ill, further public health actions are not necessary at this time, said Philadelphia Health Commissioner Donald Schwarz. The health department is actively searching for possible cases of swine flu. Even if this case is confirmed, it would not change our current approach to swine flu in Philadelphia.

All public health agencies in Pennsylvania have intensified surveillance efforts statewide and this possible case was identified as part of those efforts. The samples from this patient have been sent to CDC and results of additional testing will be released once they are available.

As with any influenza, citizens are reminded to take the following steps to prevent spreading illness to others:

- Stay home when you are sick to avoid spreading illness to others;

- Cough or sneeze into the bend of your elbow or a tissue and properly dispose of used tissues;

- Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and warm water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer;

- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth;

- Stay healthy by eating a balanced diet, drinking plenty of water and getting plenty of rest and exercise; and

- Seek care if you have influenza-like illness.

For the latest flu information, visit the Philadelphia Department of Public Health s website at www.phila.gov/health

The PA Department of Health Web site also is being updated daily with the most recent Pennsylvania-specific swine flu information, including links to CDC recommendations and other swine flu information. For more information, visit www.health.state.pa.us
