Due to the heightened concern of swine flu, the Northwestern Health Unit has released a list of proper hygiene tips.

Medical Officer of Health Dr. Jim Arthurs says a list of symptoms is also available on the health unit's website.

Arthurs expects cases of Swine flu to be reported in Northwestern Ontario, since people from around the world can come in contact with eachother within 24 hours time.

The health unit recently reviewed its pandemic plan and re-trained its employees.
