There has been 12 possible cases of ‘swine flu’ in Jersey, all of which have proved negative after testing.
Tests are carried out on samples at the specialist London lab at Colindale to show whether or not the patients had contracted the new Influenza A (H1N1) virus.
Jersey’s health authorities remain on alert for possible cases and are advising anyone with flu-like symptoms to request a home visit from their GP rather than visit their doctor’s surgery.
