MADISON - The Wisconsin Division of Public Health says all 15 cases of the new variation of the H3N2 swine flu involved contact with pigs at the Wisconsin State Fair, or at three county fairs.
State officials report a total of 15 cases so far.
One state official say the new strain of influenza is no reason to avoid fairs, but he does suggest children, seniors, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems should consider staying away from pigs at the 11 fairs coming up in the state.
