First Nations hit by N1H1

The H-1-N-1 flu has hit First Nations communities in northwestern Ontario, with more than 100 sick on the Sandy Lake reserve.

Nurses and a doctor are distributing the antiviral drug Tamiflu to the sick.

Authorities have asked people from Sandy Lake to not travel to other First Nations communities in the region to keep the virus from spreading.
