The governor of Jalisco, the Mexican state that includes the cities of Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta, said in a press conference Tuesday night, April 28, that there have been no confirmed cases in his state.
Governor Emilio Gonzalez said that several suspected swine flu cases in Jalisco have turned out to be the result of a bacterial infection, not a flu virus.
