SHOOT: Probably 100 000 + at Wimbledon, and 200 000 + at the Con Fed Cup, and of course it's in the millions when we go to Tour de France? Should everyone stay at home? Possibly. I don't don't know.
Johannesburg - Over 2 000 sportspeople from universities across the country have possibly been exposed to swine flu, and several have already tested positive for the virus.
Dr Lucille Blumberg of the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) has confirmed the latest outbreak of H1N1 influenza.
She said that on Friday the NICD sent letters to all the sportspeople who took part in the University Sports South Africa (USSA) tournament in Johannesburg, telling them they have possibly been exposed to the virus and should report any serious symptoms immediately.
Blumberg said four cases related to the latest outbreak were confirmed on Saturday. She added that on Sunday "we confirmed another 11 cases, but it's not certain whether they are all connected to the latest outbreak."
