Babies in Hospital Will Not Get Treatment for Swine Flu

    FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) - A hospital spokeswoman says babies in
the neonatal intensive care unit at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center
won’t receive antiviral drugs, although an employee has tested
positive for swine flu.
    The Fayetteville Observer reports that spokeswoman Janet Conway
says doctors believe the babies’ risk for contact with the virus is
extremely low. She says doctors also considered the risk of side
effects to the babies from the antiviral drugs.
    Conway couldn’t say what the employee does specifically, but the
person isn’t at work. She says staff members are at a greater risk
of catching the flu and are being treated with antiviral drugs.
    Two cases of swine flue also were confirmed at Camp Dixie in
Bladen County. A camp official says the camp was closed temporarily
but was expected to reopen Sunday.
