Third case of swine flu pops up in HR

Larry Hill with the Virginia Department of Health says there is a second case of confirmed Swine Flu on the Peninsula. The person diagnosed is an adult female who didn't require hospitalization, he said. She is recovering well.

Hill says the two cases on the Peninsula are not related and health officials don't know how the woman contracted the disease.

This is the third case of confirmed Swine Flu in Hampton Roads, with one being a child from Norfolk. A fourth confirmed case was close to Hampton Roads, in what the Health Department is calling Three Rivers - north of the Peninsula.

This brings the total number of cases in the Commonwealth to 19.
