Jalisco's governor orders Puerto Vallarta's nightclubs shut down

Jalisco's governor is ordering that Puerto Vallarta's night spots be shut down this week, according to an article in Guadalajara's English language paper, the Guadalajara Reporter.   

The governor is concerned that students who have the time off because their classes have been suspended might make their way to the coast for an impromptu vacation.    The concern is that crowded nightclubs could pose a risk of spreading the flu.

Meanwhile, 30 more people with flu-like symptoms will be tested for swine flu virus.   So far there have been no confirmed cases of the flu in the Mexican state of Jalisco, which includes the resort town of Puerto Vallarta as well as the state capital, and Mexico's second largest city, Guadalajara.

    thirteen members of my family are at an all inclusive resort in PV. What are the chances they won't be allowed back into US on Sunday 5/3? Anybody venture a guess?
