As Nations Try to Contain Flu, N.Y. cases are confirmed April 26

Cases were confirmed in Queens, N.Y. of the swine flu that has been spreading in Mexico. 81 people have been confirmed dead in Mexico with the outbreak originating in Mexico City.

Governments issued travel restrictions urging people not to travel to Mexico.
All of the cases confirmed in N.Y. have been mild so far, but without a known treatment for the disease and unclear answers as to how it spreads, extreme precautions are being carried out.

Hong Kong issued extreme measures on travel. Any person entering Hong Kong from Mexico with a fever or respiratory illness will be immediately detained.

So far there have been no deaths in the U.S. due to the new outbreak of swine flu
