Swine Flu Hits Glastonbury
Three people "sent home" after contracting the virus...
Three people have been sent home from Glastonbury this weekend after being diagnosed with suspected swine flu. Two students and a ten-year-old boy were spotted with the symptoms of the virus, which can be fatal in some extreme cases. The three individuals were not linked, but all arrived at the festval's medical centre and advised to go home.
"The view of the chief medical officer is that they had this before turning up," a spokeman for Glasto said. "There is no more risk here than anywhere. The figure of three in 177,000 people is regarded as very low."
