The Central District Health Department has posted signs outside the swine barn at the Nebraska State Fair warning visitors of a new strain of Swine Flu.

The departments says people shouldn't avoid the barn, just use precaution.

They say it's not a good idea to eat or drink in the swine barn and people who visit should wash their hands once they leave.

That new strain, known as H3N2v, has infected 289 people in the United States this year, but no one in Nebraska.

The Minnesota Department of Health says three people developed Swine Flu symptoms after spending time at the Minnesota State Fair's swine barn last week.
