NEW YORK (AP) - A New York City official says " many hundreds " of students are

sick at school hit by a swine flu outbreak.

Health Commissioner Frieden said Tuesday that the cases are not confirmed

as swine flu. But the students have the same symptoms as the confirmed cases.

Mayor Bloomberg says two people have been hospitalized with suspected

cases. Those are separate from the school outbreak.

The mayor says the hospitalized are a child in the Bronx and an adult in

Brooklyn.

The mayor also says authorities are investigating possible cases at a special

education school in Queens.
