Swine flu may be in Connecticut

Fears of swine flu have schools in East Haddam shutting down tomorrow.

There are three schools in the district: East Haddam Elementary School, Nathan Hale-Ray Middle School, and Nathan Hale-Ray High School.

News Channel 8 has learned that two students that recently returned from Mexico are ill, but we don't know yet if they do in fact have swine flu.

As a precaution, the district will be closing the schools so that they can be thoroughly cleaned.

A press conference will be held at 2pm where we'll learn more details.

Gov. Jodi Rell is also holding a press conference today at 2:30pm to discuss swine flu.

The Centers for Disease Control said today that the number of cases of swine flu in the United States has jumped to 64.

Great...
