Swine Flu Case In D.C. Office Worker
We have a report of a D.C. office worker with a case of swine flu. The flu victim is a World Bank employee who traveled to Mexico from April 14 to 18. The employee has fully recovered from the flu. The World Bank asked employees who worked with the staffer to work from home pending consultations with health authorities, according to Bloomberg. Though the individual works in D.C., the case is officially classified as a Maryland case, on account of the person's residency.
Note: This post was amended and corrected at 3:34 pm to reflect the fact that this case is not officially classified as a D.C. case.

It's also important to take measures (at least to some extent) to try to minimize the risk as much as possible of contracting Swine Flu. There are a couple good places that provide good run-downs for prevention, including this one that explains the benefits of using chlorine bleach to disinfect surfaces.
