Jackie Turner is from Jerome but works in one of the states affected by the flu.
She says the company is telling her not to go down - if it's not a crucial matter.

Zach bay just returned home to Twin Falls from a vacation in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico- he says that masks were everywhere - and the procedure at the airport was quite the experience.
Bay says, "You had to run through a checklist, if you had any symptoms please check yes or no. They held a thermometer to your head to see if you had a temperature, if you had a temperature, then they took the precautions of seeing if you had the swine flu.
He says each traveler received a health alert notice regarding the symptoms of swine flu.
