Disney visitors report flu-like symptoms

ORLANDO, Fla., July 11 (UPI) —
Several Mississippi tourists who bussed to Florida’s Walt Disney World were treated after complaining of flu-like symptoms, a hospital official says.

Samantha O’Lenick, spokeswoman for Florida Hospital in Celebration, Fla., said the ailing passengers were treated with antivirals and released, while the remaining bus passengers were provided with fluids and antibacterial sanitizer, the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel reported Friday.

An unidentified passenger on the bus said the tourists from Meridian, Miss., had been staying at Walt Disney World since Monday.

Orange County Health Department spokesman Dain Weister said a child in the Mississippi group underwent a test that determined the influenza virus was present in his/her system.

Weister told the Sentinel several other children in the group later reported feeling ill, prompting the hospital visit.

Jim Knight, whose Knight Coach bus line was transporting the tourists, said up to 14 people reported being ill.
