Seven cases of H1N1 (swine flu) have been confirmed in Louisiana by the Center for Disease Control, WBRZ has learned.
Gov. Bobby Jindal will hold a press conference at 2:30 p.m. on the cases.
Five of the cases are in Lafayette parish, one is in Orleans parish and the seventh is in Ascension parish.
The Ascension parish case involves a student at Lake Elementary School. State officials have advised Lake Elementary school that it can remain open because the student involved has been absent for a while and no other students are showing symptoms at this time.
