    Swine flu precautions being taken for Kentucky State Fair

    With swine flu concerns sweeping the Midwest, Kentucky officials have taken steps to prevent the disease from spreading to the state fair?s Swine Pavilion.

    Swine flu is a disease spread by pigs coughing and sneezing to humans. There is a total of 158 reported cases, up from 29 reported a week ago, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. On Thursday the State Department of Health confirmed 130 cases of swine flu across at least 19 Indiana counties. Ohio state officials have confirmed 30 cases, Hawaii and Illinois have confirmed one.

    More cases are expected to arise in the following days. Between 650 and 675 pigs are expected to be a part of the State Fair, which begins Thursday and lasts until Aug. 26.
