TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida's surgeon general says the
state has referred three suspected cases of swine flu to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta for more
testing.
Dr. Ana M. Viamonte Ros said Thursday that the state could hear
back about the cases late in the afternoon or on Friday. The three
cases are from Orange, Lee and Broward counties.
State labs have tested about 70 samples, but only three cases
needed more testing.

suggesting a worldwide pandemic could be imminent.
