A number of states have reported cases of H1N1 (Swine) flu infection in humans and cases have been reported internationally as well. ND has not had any confirmed cases of H1N1-strain Influenza as of this afternoon but there have been more than 100 confirmed cases in the US, and it appears to be spreading.
Local health officials are working diligently with other providers and public health units across the state and country to monitor and prepare for the situation should it continue to spread. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers a very thorough website guidance for both providers and the general public; everybody is encouraged to access this helpful information by visiting their internet site:
