3 probable H1N1 cases in Waukesha Co.

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Waukesha County authorities have reported at least three probable cases of swine flu (H1N1) and closed three schools for at least a week.

Julianne Klimetz of the county's Department of Public Health said Friday that all three cases are mild, and none of the patients have been hospitalized.

None of the cases has been confirmed.

She says one person is a student at Oconomowoc High School. That school be closed until May 8 or further notice. She says Nature Hill and Silver Lake intermediate schools also will be closed because they use the same bus system.

Klimetz says the student recently visited an area of Mexico where infections have been reported.

There are now eight probable cases in Wisconsin.
