Manchin gets involved with swine flu efforts


CHARLESTON — Gov. Joe Manchin is getting involved with the fight against swine flu.

Manchin is due to brief the media about H1N1 with state Chief Health Officer Dr. Cathy Slemp on Monday morning at the Capitol.

After the 10 a.m. briefing, Manchin is visiting Shady Spring Middle School in Beaver to discussion swine flu prevention.

Manchin’s activities come a day after health officials in Kanawha County say the state has recorded its sixth swine flu death.
