While no swine flu cases have been reported in Florida, at Orlando International Airport officials are screening, through questioning, persons arriving from Mexico.

Meanwhile, theme parks like Disney World, Universal and SeaWorld have been asked to watch for illness in visitors.  Some 20 cases of swine flu have been reported across 5 states in the U.S.

So far, about 103 persons have died in Mexico from swine flu.    According to officials, it is believe that many more persons have the flu virus.
