There have been no confirmed cases of swine flu reported in Wisconsin as of Tuesday afternoon, but 30 possible cases have been referred to the state lab for testing.

The Wisconsin Division of Public Health and local health departments are working with clinical providers (hospitals, clinics, etc.) to identify and test suspect cases.

The division set up its emergency operations center on Sunday, and is planning to staff its phone bank 24/7 in response to the swine flu outbreak.

On the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, officials are monitoring local, national and international developments.
