MONTGOMERY

Three cases of H1N1 influenza have been confirmed in workers at a Montgomery food-processing plant.

The cases earlier this month involving employees at Seneca Foods coincides with a higher-than-normal number of local people with flu-like symptoms recently.

Two people from Montgomery were hospitalized with flu-like illness, Le Sueur County Director of Public Health Cindy Shaughnessy said.

She said the cases aren’t surprising because H1N1, or swine flu, continues to circulate in Minnesota, and that most cases continue to produce mild to moderate symptoms.
