CHU Sainte-Justine and The Montreal Children's Hospital to update the public regarding H1N1 testing at emergency rooms

The emergency rooms at the CHU Sainte-Justine and The Montreal Children's Hospital of the McGill University Health Centre are seeing a significant increase in patients seeking care. The increase is due to patients with mild flu-like symptoms and fever and due to parents asking that their child be tested to determine if he has H1N1.

The CHU Sainte-Justine and The Montreal Children's Hospital will be holding a press conference to update the public on the situation.
