Man tested for swine flu at Ilfracombe

A YOUNG man staying at the Wilder Park Project in Ilfracombe has been tested for swine flu.

A spokeswoman for the project, which provides short-term, supervised accommodation for young people in Wilder Road, said a doctor had taken a swab for testing from the man. It is believed that everyone at the project is routinely tested and the swabs were taken after the young man showed flu-like symptoms, "just as a precaution."

Results are expected in a couple of days.
