Hospital Sees Dramatic Drop In H1N1 Cases

Backus Hospital Lifts Some Restrictions

POSTED: 3:28 pm EST December 1, 2009

UPDATED: 3:43 pm EST December 1, 2009

NORWICH, Conn. -- Officials at Backus Hospital in Norwich say they have seen a dramatic drop in H1N1

cases.

H1N1 activity appears to have peaked in some places and is easing off but health experts said people should not let their guard down.

Officials said on Nov. 1 there were 35 people with H1N1 and on Nov. 23 there were only four.

Dr. David Kalla said the hospital is not far enough out of the woods to ease all restrictions. He said that visitors to patients must be at least 18 years-old and be free of flu-like symptoms such as a fever or sore throat
