OSWEGO COUNTY, N.Y. -- As the number of swine flu cases grows, many people are concerned about anyone coming into the country from Mexico. That could become a problem in Oswego County, which normally draws a lot of migrant workers to the area in the summertime. And it has the county's public health director concerned.

"We're developing what we'll be doing here locally, but also that's going to be along with recommendations from the state department of health and they will be having conference calls on that because we're not the only rural county," said Oswego County Public Health Director Dr. Dennis Norfleet.

State health officials are also looking at migrant workers, since most of them who work in the state come from Mexico.

"Our incident management group, they were focusing on migrant workers and Saratoga track workers as well. Our materials are all available in Spanish, but we have a team actually looking at ways to push the information appropriately into that group," said New York State Commissioner of Health Richard Daines.

County legislator Morris Sorbello owns a farm in Granby and has migrant workers who work there year round. He says he's not hiring anyone right now, but wouldn't turn anyone away if they had recently been in Mexico.

"I'd hate to say that all the people that came from that country or other areas are carrying a disease of some sort because that's not right. It has to be proven that they are," said Sorbello.

But the concern about swine flu is rising. Some migrant workers are being denied entry into the country because of it. And should the number of cases continue to grow, farmers might have to look elsewhere if they want help this summer.
