H1N1 (Swine) Influenza Updates
H1N1 (Swine) Influenza viruses aren't the
same as human Influenza viruses. H1N1 (Swine) Influenza doesn't often infect people, and the rare
human cases that have occurred in the past have mainly affected people who had direct contact with
pigs. However, the current H1N1 (Swine) Influenza outbreak is different. It's caused by a new Swine
Influenza virus that has spread from person to person -- and it's happening among people who
haven't had any contact with pigs.
The nature of this (Swine) Influenza H1N1 virus has directed the City of Marshall to
take the greatest concern for the welfare of our citizens. Thus, we will be
providing updates on outbreaks, area occurences, and other information deemed necessary for public
awareness. For further information on improving the safety of your family, friends, neighbors
and well being - click one of our links below and check back regularly for
updates.

events in our community that may affect you or your family and friends. You can stop following
them any time. You can even set quiet times on Twitter so you’re not interrupted.
Twitter puts you in control and becomes a modern antidote to information
overload.
