There are still no confirmed cases of the swine flu in New Mexico, and the state is still waiting on the results of the two cases sent to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on Wednesday.
There were three five new suspected cases reported today according to the N.M. Department of Health:
- 15-year-old female from Valencia County
- 17-year old female from Eddy County
- 15-year old male from Eddy County
- 17-year old male from Hidalgo County
- 27-year old male from Bernalillo County
