Australia monitoring 28 for swine flu

Twenty-eight people in Australia are awaiting test results for swine flu, Federal
Health Minister Nicola Roxon says.
"We do currently have a number of people, including a family, who have tested
positive to influenza A," Ms Roxon told reporters in Melbourne on Saturday.
"We're likely to have the results of those (tests) either late tonight or first
thing tomorrow morning," she said.
Ms Roxon said the positive influenza A test meant that those affected were getting
to the last stages of testing, when it would become clear whether they had the H1N1
strain of the flu.
She said there were reports from overseas that the situation could worsen as
temperatures got colder.
"We still need to continue to be vigilant," she said.
