CHEYENNE, WYOMING - The Wyoming Department of Health reports that swine flu activity is decreasing across the state but officials say residents still need to take precautions.

Ten people have died in Wyoming from flu-related causes since the emergence of the H1N1 flu in the state earlier this year. A Natrona County man who died in late October and a Park County man who died last week are the latest flu-related deaths.

Dr. Tracy Murphy is state epidemiologist. Murphy says that people still need to take precautions against the flu such as getting vaccines as recommended, staying home when they're sick and washing their hands frequently.
