We have a couple of notes on the H1N1 virus.
First.. We have another case in our area.
This one is in Murphy, North Carolina.
A woman was transferred to a new hospital on Thursday.
And state health officials confirm she tested positive for the Swine Flu virus.
They aren't releasing any more information about the case.
And federal health officials have new advice for children at camp.
The virus has spread at several camps this summer... So operators have been giving all the kids doses of Tamiflu to protect them.
On Friday, a doctor at the C-D-C said that's a bad idea.
Tamiflu can fight the symptoms, But you can also build up a resistance to it.
So their advice is.. Don't give it to kids who aren't sick.
