Two cases verified as H1N1

Those suspected flu cases at two New Hanover County schools are indeed the H1N1 virus.

Two more students have been added to the list as contracting the illness, one at New Hanover High School and another at Roland-Grise Middle School.

This brings the total to eight across the county.

Officials have notified parents and anyone who may have come in contact with the infected students.

Neither case is believed to be life threatening.
