FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WSVN) -- State officials have sent three samples for testing to the Center for Disease Control to determine if they are the swine flu, now being called H1N1 by the CDC. Officials said one of those samples came from Broward County.
No details on who the Broward sample came from. State officials are still awaiting the results of dozens of other tests sent to a state facility, which is considered to be round one of testing. Twenty samples from Miami-Dade County have also been sent for testing.
"The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is the only laboratory that can confirm a case in the United States," said Dr. Paula Thaqi with the Broward County Health Department.
Florida Surgeon General called for calm Thursday. "The symptoms have been extremely mild. The three cases that we are even concerned about, everyone is at home and has been treated. The symptoms have been extremely, extremely mild, so there is nothing to panic about," said Dr. Ana Viamonte Rosa.
Meanwhile, hospital waiting rooms at facilities like Miami Children's Hospital and Jackson Memorial Hospital are staying busy. Doctors are saying we can all go about our normal business.
Still, South Florida is taking precautions. Many people are arming themselves with hand sanitizers. More popping up at MIA terminals. Shared spaces, like gym benches are being wiped down even more. The best defense against germs is to keep your hands clean.
