Yes. North Carolina is carefully monitoring for H1N1 influenza. People who are hospitalized with flu symptoms are being tested to see if they have flu, and if so, what kind of flu they have (seasonal flu or H1N1). Testing is also being done through North Carolina’s flu surveillance network. The State Laboratory of Public Health is working double shifts to test all specimens quickly. Any positive tests for H1N1 are reported by the N.C. Division of Public Health and N.C. DHHS posts H1N1 novel flu news releases on its website at www.ncdhhs.gov/pressrel/news.htm. Updated case counts of confirmed H1N1 novel flu infections in the United States, both nationally and by state, are available on the CDC website, http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu.
