H1N1 cases declining, state says
The latest influenza illness figures are â??encouraging,â?? according to Indiana health officials. Emergency-room visits for
flu-like symptoms have fallen more than 2 percent in two weeks. Hospitalization rates also are down, and schools are reporting
fewer absent students. However, it’s too early to say the virus has peaked, say experts. Last week, three H1N1-related deaths
were confirmed in Indiana.
