Prince George, B.C.- The two new confirmed cases of H1N1 flu in the Northern Health region are at the Prince George Regional Correctional Centre. 
 
That would bring to four the number of confirmed cases at the jail.
 
All four cases are past the infectious stage and the inmates are no longer in isolation. However, spokesperson Cindy Rose from the Solicitor General’s Ministry, says there are several other inmates who are exhibiting flu like symptoms “We will no longer be testing at the jail for H1N1 as it has been determined that strain is there, all other cases will be treated as if they are H1N1.” 
 
As long as there are inmates exhibiting flu like symptoms, there will be no visitation at the jail.

Well, people in confined space. One gets it, guess what. They are probably quarinteening them, but its still got there.
By the by, how's the no smoking adventure progressing in the slammer? Maybe too much unpolluted air there allows viruses to flower.
