Virginia health officials soon will be able to test suspected cases of swine flu in state labs.
That would cut down on the time it takes to determine if someone has the disease.
Most testing now is being done by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Virginia Department of Health planning director Bob Mauskapf says the state lab will have test kits later this week and local health departments could get them next week, cutting the response time from days to hours.
Mauskapf would not say how many suspected cases of swine flu there were in Virginia. There have been no confirmed cases of swine
flu.
