WRHA denies report of swine flu at city hospital

Just as we prepared to go to air, a listener called in and reported that the emergency room hallway at St Boniface Hospital was being sealed off. The hospital employee told us they were informed it was due to a confirmed case of H1N1 influenza A "swine flu".

As a result of our inquiry for confirmation, Heidi Graham from the WHRA told Shannah-Lee the emergency room hallway is sealed off because of construction. She said there are no confirmed cases of swine flu in the province.
