MDARD Says There's No Need for Extra Precautions at Fairs After a Swine Flu Case in Oakland County

MDARD Says There's No Need for Extra Precautions at Fairs After a Swine Flu Case in Oakland County


The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development said county fairs take many steps already to curb disease.

The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development said it has no plans to make changes to safety procedures for county fairs this year.

That's despite a confirmed positive human case of H1N1, or swine flu, linked to pigs shown at a fair in Oakland County.

MDARD Director of Communications Jennifer Holton said current, routine safety measures are sufficient, with county fairs already taking numerous precautions against the spread of illness.
