From the Virginia Department of Health

Swine Flu:

Following confirmation by U.S. health officials that cases of swine flu have been identified in California, Texas and Mexico, the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) is asking health care providers across the state to have a high index of suspicion regarding cases of influenza like illness. All of the cases reported in the U.S. have recovered. Click HERE for more information

U.S. declares swine flu public health emergency:

On Sunday, April 26th, 2009, the Department of Homeland Security declared a public health emergency for a new strain of swine flu. This flu that has killed as many as 81 and sickened more than 1,324 in Mexico has spread to the United States. The arrival of this new flu virus is raising fears of a possible pandemic. Learn more about the disease and why it is causing concern among health officials. Click HERE for more information.

 

Memo to Virginia's Business Community: 'Influenza A H1N1 Outbreak'

 

Yesterday, a ransom demand from an anonymous hacker to the Virginia Department of Health Professions was posted on the Wikileaks website.  The link is listed below.  The hacker claims to have possession of more than 8 million patient records from the Virginia Prescription Drug Monitoring Program.  Currently, state officials acknowledge that the matter is under investigation by the FBI and the Virginia State Police.  It is not known whether any patient records have in fact been compromised.  While this has no direct impact on the Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers, we wanted to keep you abreast of developments since the DHP computers that were hacked also contain regulatory information related to our profession.  We will keep you advised as we learn more.
