ORLANDO, Fla. -- Eyewitness News has learned of Orlando's first confirmed case of swine flu. According to the chief medical officer for Adventist Health System, Loran Hauck, the case was diagnosed Tuesday morning.
"A case was diagnosed here in Orlando today on a tourist from Mexico who came to Disney attractions two days ago to visit," Hauck wrote in an email obtained by Eyewitness News.
No further details have been released, but Eyewitness News is working to learn specifically what days the tourist was at the parks and which park the tourist went to.
Details about the tourist, beyond being from Mexico, have not been released.
I just found out that one of my coworkers is heading over there with his family for the next week. They may have a nice empty park to themselves when this hits the news tonight.
Edit - Another news station says this is unconfirmed but that samples have been sent to CDC for testing.
