Three wards at Leicester Royal Infirmary have closed after 16 cancer patients were diagnosed with swine flu. The patients have been isolated to avoid an outbreak. Another three people with flu are being treated at the city's Glenfield Hospital but these cases have not yet been confirmed as swine flu. Anyone suffering from cold and flu symptoms should avoid the hospitals. It is a normal winter, swine flu is the normal flu and the number of cases is not that high across the East Midlands. However, when it gets into a clinical setting where people are very vulnerable then this is a difficult situation to manage. Doctors say, ‘Everything is being done and it is under control.’
