Dr Wendy Richardson, director of public health for Hull, was reported in the Mail as stating:
“Although we now have a confirmed case of swine flu in the Humber area, I would like to stress there is still no need to panic.
“Due to the ongoing situation in the rest of the country we are following the tried and tested plan for dealing with swine flu.
“Our message remains the same that this is not currently a serious condition and patients can be managed well at home, so people in the wider community should not be concerned.”
