Local Man Dies Of Swine Flu
HAMILTON, Ohio -- Ohio's first confirmed death from the H1N1 virus is in Butler County, according to information from the Ohio Department of Health.
The ODH has now confirmed that a 46-year-old Hamilton man died Monday, June 29. Like most of the confirmed fatalities from the virus, the man did have underlying health issues that may have contributed to his death.
Greene County also confirmed its first case of the virus today, July 2, in a 12-year-old girl. Sarah Pappa with the Greene County Combined Health District said she has been at home and is recovering -- it's not believed there are any other potential cases in the county.
According to the World Health Organization, as of July 1 there have been 332 deaths from the H1N1 virus worldwide, 127 of which have been in the United States.
Steps to prevent the spread of H1N1 are the same as for the seasonal flu: cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, wash your hands, and stay home if you are sick.
