**********************
The Adams County Public Health Department has been alerted by Dr Seth Foldy, State Health Officer that there is a probable case of Swine Flu in Adams County.
According to Linda McFarlin, Adams County Health Officer, they have not yet received a confirmation of a positive result from the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta and have stated that they should have results by the end of the week.
The adult male visited another part of the U.S. and presented symptoms upon his return. Officials said he is being isolated at home and doing well. Others who had contact with him are taking proper precautions.
"These laboratory-reported cases indicate that it is probable that swine flu is active in Wisconsin and serves as a reminder to everyone to take precautions if they haven't already done so," said Dr. Foldy.
