There’s lot of these stories from all over. Here’s a look at what one state (Missouri) is doing…
From The Courier:
Gov. Jay Nixon said that Missouri health officials are taking significant steps to deal with a new strain of swine flu that has prompted federal officials to declare a nationwide health emergency.
The governor said that while no case of swine flu had been confirmed in Missouri, state health officials and the medical community have been on high alert since Friday, April 24, because of the contagious nature of the new flu virus.
The Department of Health and Senior Services, headed by Director Margaret Donnelly, is the lead agency in coordinating the state’s preparation for possible influenza cases.
