State health officials said Friday the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed two more Louisiana cases of H1N1, or swine flu, bringing the total of confirmed cases in the state to nine.
The two confirmed cases were students from Cathedral Carmel School in Lafayette, the first school to close after officials with the state’s Department of Health and Hospitals believed there was a cluster outbreak there, according to a DHH news release.
The nine confirmed cases include seven from Lafayette, one from Ascension Parish and one from Orleans Parish.
The state is still waiting for test results from the 33 samples sent to the CDC for testing, according to the news release.
All of those with confirmed cases have either recovered or are recovering at home, the release says. No one in the state has been hospitalized with the disease.
